Linter
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- Now: Linter as I prepare to format my metadata fields to streamline the vault for upcoming use with Datacore plugin.
- Linter keeps my notes tidy and consistent so I never have to worry about working nearly as I write. I love this approach.
- For managing your properties, I recommend using [Metadata Menu](https://github.com/mdelobelle/metadatamenu) and [Linter](https://github.com/platers/obsidian-linter) for large-scale organization.
- I also use Linter to automatically add DATE_CREATE and DATE_MODIFY properties to each note—it’s super helpful for keeping track of stuff.
- Linter plugin- useful.
Cons
- For issue 3 of synonyms I could use Linter, but I really don't want to.
- In order for this to be reliable, you need to have a plugin (I use Linter, but I believe that there are other options too) that will update the Date Modified field.
- Linter was cool but I struggled with getting it all set up. I think since I use iCloud for syncing it had issues :/
- I use linter for cleaning the footnotes. But it does not help with this special problem.

Linter plugin- useful.
Linter can add and delete properties, so you can add the property “title” to all notes and delete any property you don’t want goi g forward.
in my first vault overhaul, i used linter... for bulk edits/renaming notes... overall i wouldnt stress too much about completely retrofitting your vault, just update enough to reduce the friction to a comfortable point!
When I am ready to take a break from clipping f, I open the folder and start extracting linking and running my fav plugin Linter so they all look nice 👍
