You are referencing <strong>the Entry<\/strong>, not a particular WordPress URL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Semantic references can also point to content that has not been written yet. A reference such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">[[Amsterdam Club]]<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">can remain unresolved until the Amsterdam Club Entry is eventually created.
