Book Wiki

The Book Wiki is your story's reference shelf — characters, locations, and plotlines kept in one place and connected to your manuscript. It is yours: you create and edit every card. The AI can suggest entries, but nothing becomes part of your wiki until you confirm it.

Open it from the Book Wiki tool in the activity bar. The wiki belongs to a book, so each book in a project has its own.

What a card looks like

Every wiki card — character, location, or plotline — shares the same descriptive spine:

Field	What it holds
Name	Required. The entity's main name.
Aliases	Other names, nicknames, short forms. Helps the editor highlight mentions.
Summary	A one- or two-line gist for quick scanning.
Description	The full write-up, as long as you like.
Tags	Colored markers you can filter by across the whole project. See Search and tags.
Notes	Free remarks attached to the card.

On top of the spine, each kind adds its own fields:

Character adds a role (for example protagonist, antagonist, supporting).
Location adds an optional type (for example city, building, region).
Plotline is a thread of scenes rather than a described entity.

The entity kinds

Kind	What it is	How it links to scenes
Character	A person in your story	Appearance (presence)
Location	A place in your story	Appearance (presence)
Plotline	A narrative thread	Ordered membership

Characters and locations are presence entities: you mark where they appear. Plotlines are threads: you add scenes to them in order. Facts and a timeline are planned for later — the wiki starts with the entities authors reach for most.

Two ways scenes connect to the wiki

The wiki uses two different links, because "who is in this scene" and "which scenes make up this thread" are different questions.

Appearance — for characters and locations. From a scene, you mark a character as present (or as the point of view) or a location as the setting. Then the card's Appears in list answers "where does this character appear?" and jumps you to each scene. See Characters and locations.
Ordered membership — for plotlines. You add a scene to one or more plotlines, in sequence, so you can follow the thread from scene to scene. See Plotlines.

AI suggestions are always yours to confirm

The AI assistant can propose a new card or a field — for example after reading a scene it might suggest a character it found. A suggestion enters the wiki marked suggested and sits apart from your confirmed entries. Nothing the AI proposes is treated as canon until you accept it.

Confirm a suggestion to make it a normal, author-owned card.
Reject a suggestion to remove it.

The AI never changes a confirmed card, adds an appearance, or writes anything into your wiki silently. This is the core promise: the wiki is the author's record, and the AI only ever offers. See AI assistant.

Notes vs. the wiki

The wiki is for structured story knowledge. Loose research, ideas, and parked fragments belong in Notes instead. If a note grows into something entity-shaped, you can turn it into a wiki card by hand.

Safe and recoverable

Wiki cards are stored as files inside your project, so they travel with it and are included in backups. Deleting a card sends it to Trash; it disappears from lists, search, export, and AI context, and links to it never dangle. Restore brings it back. See Safety and recovery.
