The parametric router doesn't do renaming/aliasing at all, so at a minimum you'll need to do it with the pattern-matching router. Note that you *could* use the parametric router successfully in the incoming-URL side, by translating request.controller early in your model. But there's no general mechanism to translate the other direction, so URL calls within plugin_wiki would generate untranslated URLs. I'd be open to suggestions to allow some kind of outgoing URL hook. I think the code would have to live in routes.py, though, since URL can be called from anywhere (model, controller, view). --
