# Managing Links

Nonaki turns long or ugly URLs into clean redirect links on your own domain. All links are managed from the **Nonaki** menu in your WordPress dashboard.

***

## Redirect Slug

The redirect slug is the base path that appears in all your links. The default is `links`, producing URLs like `yoursite.com/links/your-key`. You can change it in [**Settings**](https://docs.affkraft.com/nonaki/settings) at any time.

***

## Creating a Link

Click `Add New` to open the create form. You need two things:

* **Link Key** — the short identifier that appears in the URL (e.g. `affkraft`). Letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores are allowed.
* **Destination URL** — the full URL visitors are sent to.

You can also set the **Redirect Type**:

* `301` — Moved Permanently (default; best for SEO and affiliate links)
* `302` — Found (temporary redirect)
* `307` — Temporary Redirect (preserves the HTTP method)

Once saved, the full redirect URL is shown in the links list and can be copied with one click.

***

## Managing Links

All links are listed in the **Links** view with the following options:

* **Search** — filter by link key or destination URL
* **Tag filter** — show only links with a specific tag
* **Edit** — update the destination URL, link key, or redirect type
* **Copy** — copy the full redirect URL to the clipboard
* **Trash** — move the link to trash (stops the redirect immediately)

### Broken Link Badge

If the link checker detects that a destination URL is unreachable, the link row displays a `broken` badge. See [Link Checker](https://docs.affkraft.com/nonaki/link-checker) for details.

***

## Tags

Tags help you organize links into groups. You can create and manage tags from the **Tags** section, then assign one or more tags to any link.

The links list can be filtered by tag to quickly find a subset of your links.

***

## Trash

Trashed links no longer redirect visitors but are kept in the database. Visit the **Trash** tab to:

* **Restore** — return a link to active status
* **Force Delete** — permanently remove the link and all associated analytics data

***

## Bulk Actions

Select multiple links using the checkboxes to apply bulk actions:

* **Trash selected**
* **Restore selected** (Trash view)
* **Permanently delete selected** (Trash view)
