Just a few minutes ago I was having the same problem. Moving media is not very user friendly and needs extra work with fixing the links.

Hi all

We have a small dokuwiki running with arround 1k pages. After 3 years the
structure got a bit screwed up. Partly because people had typos in new
namespaces during creation of these namespaces.

I would like to restructure the wiki a bit:
* rename namespaces and pages
* move entire namespaces
* move media

What I tested so far was the pagemove plugin which takes some time to rename
and move pages and namespaces but with a smal wiki it should work, even if
you can not move entire namespaces as far as i could seen

The problem I face now is how to remove the media which is linked to the
pages. I would like to rename and move tis namespaces as well. As far as I
could see the pagemove plugin does not care for this. Is there any other way
for doing this. Or do I have to move everthing on a file system level. But
then I have to fix all the links by hand or scripts. When I want to delete a
media that is still in use, dokuwiki prevents that. Does dokuwiki maintain a
list of pages where each media is refered to, so that I at least could look
up where I have to look for broken links?

Many thanks in advance

Andreas
