In the new editor, how do I create a wiki link to another page like in the old editor?

Casey Graves

In the new editor there is no longer the [ macro.  While in the editor for a page, I would like to link to another page in my wiki.  My understanding is that I should press / to open up the all-in-one macro menu and select link, search for my page, then select the page I'd like to link to.  Two problems with that:

1. This pop up only searches through recently viewed pages in the wiki.  I have no way to do a search across the whole wiki for the page I want to link to.
2. Once you've found the page and select it, the link that is created will open up a new tab/window when it's used instead of navigating to the new page in the same window.

How do I just make a plain old wiki page link like in the old editor that lets me select any page in the wiki and won't open up new windows when a user clicks it?

Hello Casey,

Thank you for showing this to me. I was able to replicate these behaviours on my instance, and I believe these to be potential bugs, so I have raised them below.

• CONFCLOUD-66569 Unable to link to internal pages which have not been previously viewed
• CONFCLOUD-66570 Opening block Smart Card Link opens in new tab or window

Please click This affects my team for both. This will help us keep track of the prevalence of these issues, as well as to add you to the watchlist and let you know you when there are any updates.

If you find anything like this in the future, you can send the feedback directly to the development team by clicking Send Feedback from your avatar menu:

• Try out the new editing experience

For a workaround in the meantime, you'll need to visit the page first, or have someone send you the URL to the page which you can then paste directly into your editor.

Please let me know if you have any questions about any of this. 

Regards,

Shannon
