Make Wiki Redirects editable
Added by Tharuka Pathirana about 14 years ago.
Updated about 4 years ago.
Description
Wiki redirects need to be editable:
- Unredirect a page (and change back links to that page)
- Redirect to an existing page (e.g. for synonyms)
Currently, if there is page A and it's renamed to page B with "Redirect existing links" selected, a new page A cannot be created.
I think it would be better if redirects are defined in a page's content (similar to how it works on Wikipedia). That way many different pages can redirect to one target page, and if a redirecting page later needs to hold content, it can be easily edited.
FYI, a workaround without going to the database:
SCENARIO:
- Originally named page "Page A"
- Later renamed page "Page B" with the "redirects" option checked.
- Later, we want to create a separate page for "Page A"
WORKAROUND:
- Rename "Page B" to "Page A" with the "redirects" option checked.
- Rename "Page A" to "Page B" with the "redirects" option NOT checked.

Great information, appreciated very much!

For the curious with database access the example below queries and lists existing redirects:
$ mysql -u redmine_default -p redmine_default -e "select * from wiki_redirects;"
Enter password:
+----+---------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------+---------------------+----------------------+
| id | wiki_id | title | redirects_to | created_on | redirects_to_wiki_id |
+----+---------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------+---------------------+----------------------+
| 1 | 113 | Wiki | Learning_JavaScript_MVC_and_AngularJS | 2016-06-29 01:23:40 | 113 |
...
+----+---------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------+---------------------+----------------------+
Beware if changing anything that it will probably also affect the relationship between data in the tables wiki_contents, wiki_pages and wiki_redirects.
