Description

It would be nice when deleting (or renaming) a wiki page, if Tiki asked for a redirect (via the REDIRECT page). This would help visitors how have bookmarked the original page.

Use case:

  1. As admin, you select to DELETE (or RENAME) a wiki page.
  2. When Tiki prompts for confirmation, there could be a checkbox & text field asking for a redirect page.
    You should be able to enter either an existing wiki page or a fully qualified URL.
  3. If you select the checkbox (and enter a new page), Tiki does not delete the page. Instead Tiki edits the page to replace all existing content with a REDIRECT plugin.



There should be an option to have "301" headers so search engines know to update their DB.


There is a new page Alias feature in 3.0 Renamed pages could keep old URL as an alias. This could be done by appending an invisible page alias.

See attached images for UI example from MediaWiki
