# Wikilink
- A wikilink looks like this: [[wikilink]].
- Wikilinks come, wait for it, from wikis. They are great because they allow for very easy linking: you just [[link it as you go along]], then the link either works (because someone wrote that node/article/resource already) or you can click through and backfill it.
- I call this procedure link-driven writing.

- Whenever there is more than one [[node]] with a given wikilink in an Agora (typical use case: notes kept on a certain topic by different users), the Agora will surface all of them when resolving the wikilink in question. Example: [[README]].
