Wikilinks are a core concept within obsidian to link to documents by <a href="/slug/" class="wikilink" data-title="Slug" data-description="A slug is the part of the url that comes after the domain. Commonly matches the file name of a markdown file many blogging systems. These are typically human..." data-date="2024-08-05">Slug</a> wrapped in double square brackets.  These are commonly used within wiki site generators.

``` markdown
[[slug]]
```

Obsidian gives you a keybinding `alt+enter` to go to that file, but if it does not exist it will create the file for you in the root of the project.  It's a nice way to quickly make new documents.
