# Smart Rename
This is a plugin for [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) that adds the command `Smart Rename` which performs the following steps after renaming the note:
1. Adds the previous title as an alias to the renamed note
2. Preserves the backlinks to the renamed note that were using previous title as a display text.
## Detailed explanation
1. You have
`OldName.md`:
```markdown
This is a note `OldName.md` that is going to be renamed to `NewName.md`.
```
`OtherNote.md`:
```markdown
This note references
1. Wikilink [[OldName]]
2. Wikilink with the same display text [[OldName|OldName]]
3. Wikilink with a custom display text [[OldName|Custom display text]]
4. Markdown link [OldName](OldName.md)
5. Markdown link with a custom display text [Custom display text](OldName.md)
```
2. You invoke current plugin providing `NewName` as a new title
3. Now you have
`NewName.md`:
```markdown
---
aliases:
- OldName
---
This is a note `OldName.md` that is going to be renamed to `NewName.md`.
```
`OtherNote.md`:
```markdown
This note references
1. Wikilink [[NewName|OldName]]
2. Wikilink with the same display text [[NewName|OldName]]
3. Wikilink with a custom display text [[NewName|Custom display text]]
4. Markdown link [OldName](NewName.md)
5. Markdown link with a custom display text [Custom display text](NewName.md)
```
Current plugin's aim is to preserve `OldName` display text in links 1, 2, 4
