Semantic Alias

An alias is a Semantic Links link between wiki page names, not to be confused with Plugin Alias. This Wiki Syntax can be used to prevent parallel pages. When using it you say that "all these pagenames link here". It will also prevent those alias pagenames from being created by linking.

Requirements: It depends on the "Redirect to similar wiki page" feature and also the semantic links feature must be active when the semantic link is created/saved on the page, otherwise the link won't register.
Page alias will misbehave with the following settings (in tiki-admin.php) set up, please avoid it ("User's Information Page" cannot have "Userpage Prefix" blank) :

Usage on a wiki page (ex.: on page "Example")

Copy to clipboard
(alias(Example1))
(alias(Examples))
(alias(Anything at all))

This list of aliases being added to the page "Example" will redirect links to "Example1", "Examples" or "Anything at all" to "Example".

Enclosing the list of aliases with a ~tc~ comment block ~/tc~ like in the example above is recommended but optional. It prevents the aliases from being shown when the page is rendered.


Q: What if Example1 already exists?
A: Then, alias has no effect.

Q: If people search for example1 what happens?
A: In Tiki4, they should see "Example" in page list

Q: Is it SEO friendly (redirect with status 301 to avoid "content duplication", etc.)?
A: An alias creates multiple links to a target page. No content duplication happens because you aren't creating duplicate pages.

Q: Do backlinks from "Example" include "Example1" links?
A: Not in v4.1
