The detail is - after replacing names in the manual, a Maria (engine) page, which will be called Aria, of course, should have a note in red right after the title, like this:
Aria engine ----------- <red>Note: Aria engine was previously called Maria (see url-to-rename-contest) and you may occasionally see it called that way if you have older version of the MariaDB bla bla bla ... </red> If you'll need this red text on more than one page, you could put it in a template, I suppose. > Once we have a consensus on the timing there is the question of how to > word the change.
