When you rename or consolidate a card in a personal knowledge management system like Obsidian, every existing wikilink pointing to the old path silently breaks. A redirect stub—preserved at the original location and pointing readers to the new canonical content—maintains wikilink integrity across the entire knowledge graph. This pattern treats your notes like a wiki where backlinks matter as much as forward links, protecting years of accumulated connective tissue from a single rename.
