Higher subscription levels already do this. For lower levels, the @ system links to the article ID, which is unrelated to the article title.

using the the mention system (aka useing the at symbol to link things via their article id) is available to everyone, and does what you're asking for.. here's a page on how to do it

or change of article title could automatically changes all the links?

Leaving aside the fact that manually tweaking URLs is a Sage benefit:   Every article has two ways to link to it in a way that ignores the url: block links and article links. They're structured like this, with some stuff added to prevent them from parsing:   [ articleblock:LENGTHY-UUID ]
AT[Visible label](ARTICLE-TYPE:LENGTHY-UUID)   For example:
[ articleblock:59013c85-a021-4287-86d9-35b7431204f1 ]
AT[BB-Code Codex](random-fake-type-for-parsing-purposes:59013c85-a021-4287-86d9-35b7431204f1)   Without the space / with an at-symbol instead of AT, will display as this:

Guild BBCode Tags

Generic article | Mar 17, 2025

Explore all the BBCode tags exclusive to paid accounts!

BB-Code Codex   Even if someone cannot use the Mention System for your world, they can still get their hands on the UUID. If you scroll down in an article to just above the Metadata section, you can see a "Copy Article Block" button. Click that to get the articleblock-bbcode in your clipboard.   If you then want to switch it to a link, the UUID is the same so you just need to change the articleblock-link structure to a mention structure.   The only thing to remember is that using a mention means you also have the text-label, so if you want to update the label you need to do that manually.

I wish this suggestion had a discussion attached, cos I'm not entirely sure about how I feel about this, but here I go:   The way I see it, what the suggester is asking for is already possible. Permanent content linking (articles, categories, and more) is possible -- if I understand correctly -- for ALL SUBSCRIPTION LEVELS, even journeyman. You have to use linking with the email symbol '' instead of making url-based links by hand with BB-code. Making url-links by hand will of course tie the link to the article name , and such links will break with renaming.   Linking with the email symbol ties the link to a unique id-string that each article has instead of simply the article name. Changing the article name in the future will not break these links. The link text is not automatically updated to match the new article title, but this can also be a good thing in many ways. See this guide: https://www.worldanvil.com/w/WorldAnvilCodex/a/mention-system   This suggestion did make me think of various other implications, but I will not start discussing those here. Hence the small downvote.

This is already a feature for higher guild levels :)
