Chealer9 may have been referring to this faq http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-view_faq.php?faqId=1#q1

This faq is on the theme of trackbacking. Your question indirectly concerns trackbacking A permalink (ie a permanent link) is the uri that a blog post is allocated. I don’t have much experience with tikiwiki’s blog feature yet but I would imagine that it runs along the same principles of other blog software.

When you write and save a blog post, the post is archived (permalink). If you choose to use the tools??? reference to??? (you pointing to an external link i.e. placing a trackback link with another blog) and “referenced by??? (another blogger linking to your post – i.e. a trackback) – then it is the permalink that is used to keep an external link attached to a particular post. Without a permanent link, and only a general link to your blog, readers would have problems knowing where/what the trackback link is refers to.
