Feature Request:
It would be great to have a {{related>}} entries function.
I use DokuWiki as a personal notebook and it helps to show related items.
Currently, I also use BlogTNG for this effect.

I am not using tags much and I do not use the blog(blogtng plugin.

What should a related syntax tag do in comparison to tag or topic?

[kovfefe]

related would be quite similar to topic, but instead of inputting tags it would use the tags already assigned to the page. It should sort by # of tags in common (as opposed to alphabetically) and have a configurable limit (for example 5 entries.)

I found something similar: https://github.com/ilesinge/shaarli-related
Gonna try to hack something together - but I don't have much hope 😰.

Topic does at the moment not accept that not a tag is given. So alternative is that {{topic>}} uses the tag from the current page for a topic list. The pagelist has recently support for &limit=5. Also can the pagelist plugin sort, however, in that case first a useful sortkey should be added to the data.

That data is not yet available. e.g. the cloud plugin collects the number of occurrences of tags, eventually filtered to a specific namespace. But collecting such data is relative expensive. So should only happen when needed. Further sorting on if having overlapping tags is more work. Or here we should do a trick to manipulate the count scores by increasing significantly the occurrence scores for these tags that overlap, such that these sort higher?
