Renaming Pages

Instructions

1. Navigate to the page you want to rename and add ?action=rename to the address bar in your browser.
2. Choose a new group from the pick list of available groups (or leave the page in the current group).
3. Enter a new name in the text field.
4. Press Rename.
5. The original page is still there, but now redirects to the renamed page.

Depending on your appetite for risk, you may wish to test this on some non-critical pages before attempting a wholescale wiki restructuring.

Limitations

If an author moves a page from one group to another, any unqualified wiki links in the page will now probably refer to non-existent pages.  Sometimes this is what one wants; sometimes one will need to edit the page and update some or all of the links to insert a group qualifier.  If one were moving a lot of pages this could be a bit of a chore.  On the other hand, if one were moving a lot of pages, chances are the unqualified links will point to pages that are also being moved.
