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

This post was last updated for 476 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

      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).

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

      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?

      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.
