Graph and review

The graph

Graph is a Trilium note map (type Note Map, #mapType=link) rooted at Wiki. It works like Obsidian's graph view: every page is a node, every link or relation between pages is an edge. Links are made from the pages' text, so the graph grows as Claude writes.

Nodes are coloured by page type through a #color label on each template:

Type Colour
Hub violet #8b5cf6
Source summary blue #3b82f6
Concept green #22c55e
Entity orange #f97316

Pages created from a template inherit the colour. A page you adopted into the wiki without a template needs its own #color label; lint adds missing ones.

Parent and child placement in the tree is not drawn, so a node floating alone is an orphan: nothing links to it.

Narrowing the graph

Trilium has no filter panel on the map, but a note map can be rooted at any note:

  • One topic: a note map with #mapRootNoteId set to that topic's hub.
  • Any query: a note map rooted at a saved search shows only the matching pages and the links between them, for example one #wikiTopic, only #wikiType=entity, or only stubs.
  • One page's neighbourhood: the Note map button in a page's ribbon, like Obsidian's local graph.
  • Hide a note: #excludeFromNoteMap keeps it out of every map.

Review

The view To review is the review queue: every page that is a draft or has no status at all, newest change first. Review graph shows the same pages as a map.

  1. After an ingest, open the topic hub's note map or Review graph. Wrong links, misfiled pages and bad topic names are cheapest to fix right then.
  2. Read a page. If you accept it, set #wikiStatus=reviewed; it drops out of the queue and the review graph.
  3. If not, tell Claude what to change. It stays a draft.

Claude never sets reviewed itself.
