Well history tells... in the beginning there was
www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:pagemove (that went incompatible with current DW)
then Chi started to write pagemoveng but never finished. Both plugins works by
editing all incoming links to the moved page in addition to handling
revision history,
search index etc.
This left DokuWiki users without any working code. Now
www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:editx was
written with another concept where the moved page was replaced with a
redirect. This
solution is much simpler but has some drawbacks visa-vi backlinks
A future pagemove plugin should focus equally on robust code,
preserving all DW functionality
and make a better UI experience. Possibility to configure different
allowed use-cases would be
interesting, e.g. in some installations all users should be able to
easily rename a page but others
would only would accept admins but then with a drag-n-drop interface.
Another important use-case is the copying of namespaces are frequently
used by those working
with software docs with one version/namespace.
