Easiest way to convert a word or phrase to a tiddler link throughout the wiki?

[Petri M.]

What would be a good way of "linkifying" a phrase or a word throughout the entire Wiki? In essense I would like to convert all specific phrases, e.g. John Doe, into a link [[John Doe]]. I have done this previously manually or by opening the wiki in a text editor and using search and replace but it is kinda tedious and I would like to find a better way. Any ideas?

The official plugin "Freelinks" will make any text that matches an existing tiddler into a link.

That's right. Since 5.2.0 it also has a setting, that allows you to define a filter, for which tiddlers it is active. So you could say `[tag[xyz]]` in the "Target tiddler" filter in the setting of the plugins. The plugin can be installed with the ControlPanel.

Oh that sounds exactly what I need. Thank you!

Unfortunately the plugin makes my wiki super slow so I do not think I can use it. I probably need to install the Commander plugin or somesuch and use that to search-and-replace the parts I need to.
