[moin-user] How to rename pages and subpages?

[Roger Haase]

When you rename a page, there is a checkbox at the top of the rename dialog labeled "Rename all / subpages too?" If you check that, subpages will be renamed.
However, the links in the mother page will not be updated.
There is an option you can add to the wikiconfig.py file:
    show_rename_redirect = True

that will add a second checkbox to the rename dialog labeled "Create redirect for renamed page(s)?". (I could not find that documented anywhere other than MoinMoin/config/multiconfig.py)
If you check both boxes on the rename dialog, then subpages will be renamed and in the place of the old subpage a revised page will be created redirecting to the new page. The mother page will also have a redirect from the old page to the new page.
If you try to rename back to a previously used page name you will get an error message.

 Hello Volker,

you can manipulate the moinmoin database by using a script or application.
I already did something similar with a bash-script and sed.

I recommend you to shut down the Apache, so the working user, cannot edit any pages out of the cache.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Off list, I've asked you, if links referring to a page are updated when the 
page is renamed. You wrote No, they aren't. They will point to a non-existent 
page.

I assume that this also applies to the RenamePage command of the package 
installer.

The way I want to use MoinMoin, I expect that I want to rename pages 
frequently. My enthusiasm of MoinMoin is fading...

I wonder if I could write a program for renaming pages, which directly 
manipulated the MoinMoin (file system) database. Would this be safe, if you 
stopped Apache before, and restarted it afterwards? What about Xapian? 
Anything else?

Bye
V.W.
