Renaming a Page

Sometimes page content drifts away from the original title. The challenge of changing a page title depends on how widely it has become known in the federation. This tool can copy a page to a new name, but leaves the original in place. The author can choose to remove the old page or replace it's content with a note about the new page, depending on how widely the page is known in the federation.

This page is a đŸŒ¿ Budding Tool.

Reopen this page in the wider internet if the federation search fails: http .

There is currently a new usability trap. The renamed page still has the original title in the create event in the journal. So forking a previous revision of the new page will trample the original page and leave the new one untouched.

- [ ] change the title in the create event - [ ] might as well note the original title there too.

- [ ] Generate an import page to update the local links found in Step 3.

A few ideas occurred while building this tool.

The journal deserves an entry about the change of name.

The original pages could also be annotated to note the change of name. Page twins might be improved to notice when a twin is so annotated—and an offer given to the authors of forked twins to join a group project of renaming.

There is code to guard against choosing a name that is already in use in the wiki. This code currently matches by title which will miss various ways that slugs and titles differ.
