Joplin Naming Guide
Joplin Naming Guide
中文别名:Joplin 笔记命名规范
Rule
- Navigation layer uses short English names:
Map,Hub,Index,Home,Guide,TODO. - Content notes keep their original semantic title unless a specific cleanup is needed.
- Directories remain stable and can stay mixed Chinese/English because they are storage, not graph labels.
- Every renamed entry keeps the same note ID, so existing internal links remain valid.
Naming Pattern
Knowledge Hub: top-level entry for daily navigation.Global Map/Project Map/AV Map: map pages for graph navigation.CLI Tools Hub/NVR AV Hub: working hubs for active topic clusters.- Folder index note: title equals the folder/notebook title, for example
00-10-tmp->00-10-tmp.
Why
- Short English names are easier to read in the graph view.
- Chinese meaning is preserved in the first quote line as
中文别名. - Note IDs are stable; renaming only changes display titles.
Maintenance
- New navigation notes should follow the same naming pattern.
- New content notes can still use Chinese when that is clearer.
- If an index script is rerun later, update it to use this naming map to avoid recreating Chinese index titles.
