Lint & maintenance

As a wiki grows, small problems creep in: a link to a page you deleted, a page nothing points to, a mention that should be a link. Lint finds them.

What lint checks

• Broken links — a page links to a target that no longer exists.
• Orphan pages — a page nothing else links to (entry-point source summaries are excluded).
• Missing cross-references — the text mentions another page’s title or alias but doesn’t link to it.
• Frontmatter warnings — malformed or missing required frontmatter.
• Stale pages — the file changed well after its updated date, so the metadata has drifted.
• Missing block ids — a block that nothing can cite yet. One click stamps it, and it becomes a stable target for block references and embeds.

Run it and act

Open the Lint page for a wiki to see the latest run, grouped by check with counts by severity (error / warning / info). Each finding links to the affected page so you can fix it.

For a bigger cleanup, click Create work doc from report — Wikai turns the findings into a work document with one checklist item per issue, which the agent can then work through with you.

You can tune a couple of thresholds (how many days before a page counts as stale, the minimum length for cross-reference matches) in Settings.
