**Alias on Create** is a [[Community plugin (Obsidian)|community plugin]] for [[Obsidian (software)|Obsidian]], the [[Personal knowledge management|personal knowledge management]] application, that automatically generates [[Alias|aliases]] for newly created notes based on the note's filename. The plugin addresses a common workflow need in [[Zettelkasten|zettelkasten]] and [[Linking|wiki-style linking]] systems, where users frequently need to reference notes using different grammatical forms, abbreviations, or alternative names. When a user creates a new note, Alias on Create parses the filename and adds relevant aliases to the note's [[YAML|YAML]] [[Front matter|front matter]]. This enables more flexible linking, as Obsidian's [[Wikilink|wikilink]] system can then recognize the note under multiple names without requiring manual alias entry. The plugin supports configurable rules for alias generation, including options for [[Plural|plural forms]], [[Letter case|case variations]], and [[Acronym|acronym]] extraction. The plugin was developed by Andy Mott and is available through Obsidian's community plugin repository on [[GitHub]]. It is distributed as [[Open-source software|open-source software]] and integrates with Obsidian's plugin [[Application programming interface|API]] to hook into the note creation process. # External links - https://github.com/andy-mott/obsidian-alias-on-create -
