Meta pages are pages not core to your content, but function as a way to configure, or extend your Spaces|space. You can think of them as “tooling” pages.

The most obvious examples are part of SilverBullet’s ^Library/Std library and include generally useful Library/Std/Infrastructure/Slash Templates.

If you use Space Lua or Space Style, you may want to put those on separate pages and tag them as #meta as well, so they don’t mingle with your main content.

How are meta pages identified?

Meta pages at a technical level are Pages like any other, the only technical difference is that they are tagged with any tag starting with #meta. This is picked up by the Page Picker and Meta Picker.

How do you link to meta pages?

You can link to a meta page like any other page, that is using the [page name](page name) syntax. However, in the context of regular content, meta pages will not appear in auto complete. To get auto completion for meta pages, you can use the [^page name](^page name) caret syntax. More information: Links#Caret page links.
