Insert a link to a.md like this: [[a | link to a]]
Click link in b.md, navigate to a.md
Open the backlinks pane
Expected result
You see a backlink from b.md
Actual result
There is no backlink, but it finds it as an unlinked mention. Clicking Link breaks the link in b.md by wrapping the file name in brackets again
Environment
Operating system: osx 10.14.6
Obsidian version: 0.6.4
Using custom CSS: no
Additional information
In 0.6.0 links with spaces around | were not recognized when navigating through them, and that got fixed and is working on 0.6.4, but it seems like the same kind of recognition wasnât applied to the backlinks detection. It would be lovely go have this fixed.
See the Online events markup, I cmd+shift+clicked it and it opened the right note. But when I focus it it isnât on backlinks and it does show on unlinked sections with the paragraph I just came from.
I tried to re-test the simple example by changing the file names to have - in them or putting them on a subfolder (all my files are in a content folder), but those worked well. I am not sure of what else I could try to test why this didnât work
Iâm experiencing what I think is the same bug with different syntax. Standard markdown links with titles appear under âUnlinked mentionsâ rather than âBacklinksâ.
Steps to reproduce
% touch a.md
% echo â[a](a)â > b.md
Open Obsidian on the directory containing a.md and b.md.
In Obsidian, navigate to a.
Open Backlinks pane.
Expected result
The referencing page appears under the Backlinks category.
Actual result
The referencing page appears under the âUnlinked mentionsâ category.
Environment
Operating system: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Obsidian version: v0.6.4 AppImage
Using custom CSS: No custom CSS.
Additional information
The problem seems to occur regardless of what title is used. (For instance â[a page](a)â suffers from the same issue.)
Yep exactly. Iâm not sure what the problem may be. This are the real file names:

I just wrapped the link in the previous line with < >, just trying random things.
And now it shows as a linked mention, instead of unlinked like before. So something seems to be wrong related to the link in the previous line.
It is possible that there is nothing wrong and the links are recognized, just not immediately.
Maybe our internal data structure hasnât been updated yet. There is a fix in the next release 0.6.5.
Let me know if it solves for you.
Miah I donât understand what your problem is.
What do you expect to see under Unlinked Mention?
Do you have other notes that contain the word âethical dilemmasâ?
Yes, I do and I expect to see those notes under unlinked mention to link them to âethical dilemmasâ, as it is explained in this tutorial, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7xrHPpTWJ0. Or am I missing anything?
I got the answer from a different source. It turned out that my notes were already linked, that is the keywords were written as links not just exact words, therefore they didnât come up as unlinked, which makes a lot sense to me now.
