Link anxiety is the main reason I use links so infrequently. Unfortunately, in TW a title is both a unique identifier and a title. When you're putting documentation together, you don't want to spend 10 minutes just making sure you've got a title that will survive the ravages of time.
Most other wiki-type products have some way of tracking and maintaining links, so that you don't accidentally create orphaned links. Flibble's Relink plugin can help reduce link anxiety: https://flibbles.github.io/tw5-relink/ It can find and rename your standard text links and transclusions, which frees you to get back to thinking about your documentation, rather than your naming structure. To be honest, I haven't used it much, but so far it seems pretty solid.
