While I agree here, they are also sorta required: if some external site links to a site in our Wiki, we want this link to stay valid forever ideally. So we have to track renames (or completely forbid them) and forward to the new page. About the (internal) redirects: Is it not in our power to fix all internal links that linked to the old page into links that link to the new page? I mean, we can just make a new revision for each page algorithmically that just does the renames. No user interaction is needed. > If an article is only linked over the main menu, it shows also the message to > link this article somewhere. Could be handled with a custom Django template tag like "WikiLink" that behaves like inter WikiLinking. Not sure if that is really necessary though. -- https://code.launchpad.net/~widelands-dev/widelands-website/bug-1399461_error_on_renaming_article/+merge/314033 Your team Widelands Developers is requested to review the proposed merge of lp:~widelands-dev/widelands-website/bug-1399461_error_on_renaming_article into lp:widelands-website. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~widelands-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~widelands-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
