Hi Yuri: Thank you. After I reading again the email sent I am think I did not explain well what I am trying to do. We have pages that have people name both in the title of the pages and in the body of the pages. We no longer want the names of the people to be seen so we would like to replace the name with a new unique string ID. So we would like to make a table of the names and generate a corresponding new unique ID for each name. Then we would like to be able to replace at once all the names we have in the table with the new unique IDs in the wiki.
Say we have two pages John Lui - Author 1 Jane Elle - Author 2 we want to change those pages to AString - Author 1 AdifferentString - Author 2 With the ReplaceText extension I can change "John Lui" everywhere in the wiki to "AString." And then do the same for Jane Elle. Instead, to do the same thing, I would like to use a table like John Lui | AString Jane Elle | AdifferentString Is there a way to do this with an extension or a script?
