Wiki: Insert link => "Coming soon"?

[RobertOliverIT]

I have installed wiki.js and when I want to insert a link with the Insert Link option, I get a popup with "Coming soon".

Is is true that this simple option is not available yet?
And when is "soon"?

You can insert links already, just not via the toolbar yet. Simply use the markdown syntax for links:

[Link Text](/target/page)
[External Link Text](https://www.google.com/)

The Insert Link via toolbar function will be added in Beta 12 (in about 2-4 weeks). But like I said, this feature is simply for users that are new to the markdown syntax, you can insert links already...

I would like to add on top of that, that for people who are not familiar with .md but who wants to use wiki it might be valuable to add list of already written articles in the interface of adding link via the toolbar. I mean, to allow them to add internal links without searching for right url. Ideally, with text search by headings of existing pages. If it is not clear I'm ready to elaborate more on this topic, please let me know, I think it might be important for many users.

The @freele idea for showing actual pages when inserting a link with the toolbar will be great, also if can be set relatively to current document.

Soon seems to be some more in the future... ?

Is this being worked on by anyone? If not I could try to look into it.

2 years later and the Toolbar stil shows "coming soon" for simple wiki functionality like this. Same with tables. Not sure if i should keep going using wikijs for new projects or use something more mature

@flyersa You know you can still create links and tables right? The toolbar is merely a guide for new users. Once you know the markdown syntax, you don't need the toolbar.

This functionality won't be developed for v1 as the focus is on v2 right now.

Im aware of that. However its not end user friendly for none technical
users. Its a pure fail already to add none working ui elements

I really like what you guys have going on here but I agree with this. Since 2017 I believe you could of added the toolbar to use it? I mean if you have it there. Or link to the documentation with all the codes.

Am I supposed to remember the virtual path to every page in the wiki to be able to link to them? This is supposed to create living documents and be usable by people new to the wiki and wiki.js. You need to think of these toolbar functions as time savers and barrier removers, not just syntax reminders.

I should be able to select some text, click a link toolbar and be able to paste a URL or select an existing wiki page from a filterable/searchable list. I should also be able to drop in an empty table of X columns and Y rows.

It should not be easier to write markdown in RES or this very github comment box than the wiki.js editor.

EDIT: I'm a day 1 user that just spun this up in Docker and I thought for sure I was missing something because obviously there is some way to select from a list of existing pages to cross-link in such an established and well regarded project and instead I find this 3 year old closed issue telling me I should man-up and type out the virtual path from memory like a big boy. It's not a good look.

@NGPixel would you accept help on that?

I was wondering about a dropdown listing the content tree.
If the page already exists, the user would simply click it, if it does not, he could click the structure and give the new page a name.
