Problems


Pretty Much Resolved by the wiki ALIAS function - so closed.

Redirect plugin

  • is not included by default in TikiWiki because it could be used for bad things
  • creates redundancy (in search results, page listings, etc) - maybe redirected pages should not appear in list?


Renamed pages

  • do not automatically redirect - creates broken links.


Proposed solution:

renamed pages

  • When a page is renamed the user must choose "hard or soft redirect" perhaps better known as "redirect or refer from old page?"
    • hard redirect places redirect plugin on pagename-old to pagename-new.
    • soft redirect puts something at top of page like
This page has been renamed: pagename


Add synonyms/aliases to a page


suggestion (mlp): adding aliases to a page should automatically create pages with hard or soft redirects to pagename. Note that the adding of alias pages must not destroy data if page already exists.

Ex.:
dev.tikiwiki.org/Tracker
dev.tikiwiki.org/Trackers
dev.tikiwiki.org/Bug tracker

would be aliases. It would avoid the pollution we have here: http://dev.tikiwiki.org/tiki-orphan_pages.php


doc.tikiwiki.org/Install
doc.tikiwiki.org/Installation
doc.tikiwiki.org/Installer

Each wiki page should be able to put one or many aliases. These aliases would work in search. All the aliases should have an important weight in the internal search engine.

We could use this instead of renaming pages. Also, when we do rename a page, we could have an option to have the old page name to be an alias of the new one. Thus, better for external search engines.

Theses aliases could even be used as meta tag for this page.

Putting aliases to non wiki pages (ex.: tiki-forums.php) would make structures more useful. Now, using structures for site navigation only makes sense if you only have wiki pages. And who only wants to have wiki pages with all the great features offered by TikiWiki? :-)

It also help to use cleaner page links in sentences. If my Wiki page is called Install, I have to do the following now:

Copy to clipboard
For more information about ((Install|Installation))


With aliases, I could do:

Image
Copy to clipboard
For more information about ((Installation))


Page aliases - and hard redirects - should permit to set status "Moved Permanently" for robots to send traffic to main page.

What would we do with page renames? (which correct links in wiki pages). Needs some thought. We don't want some unwanted changing of text in existing wiki pages.


Do we need?
Redirect to internal or external http is ok because a special permission is needed to use. -> tiki_p_wiki_alias . In security admin, warm that giving tiki_p_wiki_alias to untrusted people is a security risk.

Keywords

The following is a list of keywords that should serve as hubs for navigation within the Tiki development and should correspond to documentation keywords.

Each feature in Tiki has a wiki page which regroups all the bugs, requests for enhancements, etc. It is somewhat a form of wiki-based project management. You can also express your interest in a feature by adding it to your profile. You can also try out the Dynamic filter.
