title: "Pages & wikilinks"
---

A page holds notes about one topic: a project, a person, a book. Every
page has a title, and every page is reachable the same way: by linking to
it.

There's no "new page" button and no delete button. Typing `[[` and
picking a title that doesn't exist yet creates that page. Emptying a page
out and removing every link to it removes the page too, on your next
visit.

Any page can also serve as a template. See
[Using a page as a template](/using-a-page-as-a-template).

## Linking to a page

1. Type `[[` at any point in a note.
2. Keep typing to filter the list of pages that appears.
3. Pick a page from the list, or pick **Create page** to make a new one
   with that title.

The link shows as the page title in brackets. To go to that page, click
the link, or put your caret inside it and press **Cmd/Ctrl-G**. On a
Mac, pause with the caret at the end of a link and a **Cmd G** key hint
appears under it. Click the hint to go there too. It stops appearing once
you use Cmd/Ctrl-G a few times.

Typing `[[` right before an existing `]]` puts your caret between them.
To turn a word you already wrote into a link, select it and type `[`.
Mimir closes the pair around your selection.

Page titles ignore case and extra spaces. `[[my project]]` and
`[[My Project]]` link to the same page.

### Linking to a specific day

A date in the form `YYYY-MM-DD` is a page title too. Typing
`[[2026-07-01]]` links to that day's journal entry, creating it if you
never wrote anything that day.

## Seeing what links to a page

Every page shows a References list underneath its notes. It lists every
other place in Mimir that links to the page, with a line or two of the
text around each link. That way you can tell which mention you want
without leaving the page.

Click a reference to jump straight to it.

In a reference preview, you can act on a note the same way as on its
page, but you can't edit its text. A `todo`/`done` marker still toggles
when you tap it.

## Unlinked mentions

Type a page's exact title as plain text, without brackets, and Mimir
underlines it with a dashed line. It's a mention Mimir noticed, not a
link.

Click the underlined text to turn that one mention into a real link.

A page's References list also has an Unlinked section: other pages that
mention this page's title without linking to it. Click a mention there to
link it. You link mentions one at a time. There's no "link all" option.
