@Josiah You just caused me to see that what I did may not be the 'best' way! I'm still very new to TW5 and do not yetl always appreciate the future proofing actions many of you have come to understand.
I did name the sub-folder the current wiki's name ... now I see that should I ever change the wiki's name in the future, all those links will end up being broken. NOT A GOOD SCENARIO! I like your suggestion of using some sort of ID or prefix code to name the sub-folders. Also, an ID or prefix-code potentially keeps the links shorter as well, as some of my wiki's names [which is what I used for the subfolder names] are a little longish at the moment. Thank you for pointing this out - much easier to fix now than later on down the line!
