Is it "safe" to use symbolic links in the pages to allow for
redirection? (dokuwiki is being hosted on a Linux box)
Example: in .../dokuwiki/data/pages, I do the following:
ln -s page1.txt page2.txt
Dokuwiki will then see it as if there were two pages. However if one
is edited, the other will change. I suspect this will cause dokuwiki
to do some kind of maintenance behind the scenes, but that seems
mostly harmless.
The alternative to this would be something like the "goto" plugin, but
this seems simpler to me...
It shouldn't cause any fatal errors. Your change log and attic are
likely to be out of sync as each will only carry the edits applied to
the page edited.
Personally, I think it would be better to use the redirect plugin.
Cheers,
Chris
