[Solved] Moved from Logseq - get my Wikilinks back on Track

This post was last updated for 240 days ago, and the information may already be changed

Hi guys,

Imported my Markdown files as folders from Logseq. The wiki links no longer work. These are - superficially - in the same format, but of course do not reference the corresponding GUID under the hood. But now to rewrite thousands of wikilinks within this complete package by hand is something for people who have nothing to do all day. Search and Replace does not do it. Does anyone have a good idea for this?

Best regards

Achim

      Migrating wiki links is difficult and an unavoidable cost of migration.

      To date, there is no official level solution that might quickly resolve [[wiki-links]] (or ref-links called in SiYuan) from other software.

      The community does have some solutions of its own, but they are dependent on other software and not very internationalised, so it is not certain that it would cost you too much extra to use them.

      Thanks for your input!
      In the end, I pulled out the wikilinks completely. "Mentions" work wonderfully in Siyuan, insofar I can readjust everything in the course of time.

      I would really like to migrate from Logseq to Siyuan but I have thousands of interlinked pages in Logseq and giving up the links would make my notes much less usable. Recreating them by hands is not feasible.

      A migration script would certainly increase Siyuan's user base a lot. There have been some frustration in the community around Logseq numerous bugs and some (like myself) are losing patience. Siyuan seems a perfect replacement for Logseq with many added features and improvements such as better search, better app layout flexibility, better sync, etc.

      Given that Roam, Obsidian and similar software are based (or exportable to) markdown, my guess is it wouldn't be very difficult to adapt a Logseq migration script to these.

      Could that be put in the roadmap?

      I also have to say that just a simple plugin that converts [[My doc title]] to a ref link to the corresponding doc if the doc exists would be enough for me. I am willing to give up the links to blocks if it is too difficult to implement (although Logseq blocks that are linked to have a hash id directly in the markdown file which can be used to do the same conversion for blocks probably as easily).

      Document level conversion is currently supported by a software called Quicker, but there is no English version available.

      The conversion plugin may arrive soon, and we hope that capable users can participate more in plugin development and enrich usage scenarios.

      2.9.3 is out and can properly import [[Wikilink]] from Logseq, Obsidian, etc.

      Many, many, many thanks for this improvement!

      @Nhan what do you mean by “properly import”?
      I imported 2 files from Obsidian as a test. File 1 has a wikilink to file 2 in this format: [[file2 name|text]], which is not a clickable link in file 1.

      Admittedly, file 2 was imported after file 1, not at the same time. I am using Siyuan 2.9.5.

      You can only import the entire folder at one time, SiYuan cannot incrementally recognize [[wikilinks]], thanks.

    • Ngungu

      @88250 thanks for your reply. Confirmed: importing from Obsidian works fine. Well done, team!
      Many thanks.

      I recently imported from both Obsidian and Logseq - worked an absolute treat. Did have to remove a folder the Logseq creates if not was getting an error but once that wa done, wow. Very good job all.

      Sorry for my late reply. Previously importing [[Wikilinks]] doesn't work at all when importing into SiYuan. IIrc it became literall [[Wikilinks]] and doesn't do anything. SiYuan at that time only supported cannonical Markdown links. With the recent updates when you import [[Wikilinks]] they properly show up as links in SiYuan now.
