# Aliases

An **Alias** indicates an additional / alternative name for a note. Aliases are great when referring to acronyms, nicknames, notes in a different language, or even people.  

When you search or reference Franch / Francais, AI / Artificial Intelligence, PKM / Personal Knowledge Management, or Al Capone / Scarface, Aliases help you through the ability to use multiple terms to reference the same underlying note.

### How to Create an Alias

1. Create a new page and call it `Artificial Intelligence`.
2. In the **first block** of this page**,** type `alias:: AI`
3. Navigate to a different page and create the AI link `[[AI]]`
4. Clicking \[\[AI]] will navigate you to the  `Artificial Intelligence` page.

You can add multiple aliases by changing Step 2 to the following: `alias:: AI, Aliens Are Here, Chat-GPT`. When you reference each term, it will link to the original Artificial Intelligence page.

### Alias Negatives

 The main negative of using aliases is overlapping. 

For example, we use AI as an alias for Artificial Intelligence. However, AI could also stand for many other terms, such as Adobe Illustrator, Amnesty International or Air India etc. You need to be careful when setting aliases up to ensure it does not cause issues down the line as your knowledge base grows.
