Further info:
Currently using WP 4.2.4 and Divi 2.4.6.1
Correction:
To void confusion, your syntax for links is e.g. [yadawiki link="Outcome" show="Outcome"]
I’m getting confused because my article sources are MediaWiki markup which I have exported and then convert to HTML_with_shortcodes in VBA.

Hi Julian,
I’m not sure what is going on, but here are a few thoughts:
-You are correct, the syntax for a link is [yadawiki link=”The Title of the Wiki Article Here” show=”What You Want the Text of the Link to Be”]
The articles and links in the wiki shortcode should all be to wiki articles.
-When you go in the admin to Settings / Permalinks the setting selected is “Post Name”.
By the way, just visiting that page (Settings / Permalinks) will refresh the permalinks that WordPress stores.
-When you mention articles converted from media wiki, are they showing up in the list when in the admin you look at Wiki Pages / All Wiki Pages?
-Have you created the links to the wiki articles using the wiki shortcode button in the post editor? Just asking because when you fill in the shortcode that way WordPress does a lookup of the title, so I think there is a good chance that the title will match, which it needs to do for the wiki links to work.
If you have a site that you would like to show me, I would be happy to take a look and see if I see anything.
Best,
David
Hi David,
A quick reply before I read the detail and act accordingly: I was just thinking about offering you access to the site – it’s currently behind a “Coming Soon” block so only people with logins can access it. If you would care to propose a secure channel for communication I could set you up an account and send you login details * so you could take a look.
Best regards
Julian
(I prefer to have two channels for that to keep username and password separate)
Yes; the permalink structure was set to a custom setting. I reset it to postname and all is now well.
However, It had been that way for ages and the ToC only just stopped working.
FWIW: the yada-wiki add link dialog isn’t looking right; alas I can’t see how to post an image here, but description follows
Box is small (~1/6 of screenwidth, which is 1920) but too short, too narrow – has both scroll bars; only a sliver of the button at bottom right is visible; top section contains round corner rect with a blue X on it an nothing else “Show is optional” breaks lines after “is” and “optional” appears at the start of the next line)
It does seem to work though. (I don’t need to enter the page names because my code is generating the yada-wiki links for me just fine – I don’t write the articles in WP because the HTML is too complex owing to sophisticated nested accordion styling with CSS – amongst other things!)
Best regards

Hi Julian,
The shortcode popup not looking right could be a JavaScript error or conflict.
On my website, http://www.davidmccan.com there is a contact form link in the upper right corner. You can send me your email address using that form and I’ll reply from my gmail address.
Best,
David
Confirming resetting permalinks resolved it to mark as resolved
