Hi Is it possible to rename, or would I need to create a new article?
I just did it :) Rename and move of some article are terms used as synonyms in MediaWiki. You can see just above article title line with: SDB Discussion Edit History Delete Move << this is used to move article to new page with new title Protect Watch Refresh Move will automatically create redirect, so that old link is still valid. This is useful for article that are present for a long time and have a lot of links to them. It solves both, internal wiki links and external links from Internet. Here is report that one can see after successful move: Move succeeded ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "SDB:Installing VMware server or workstation on openSUSE 11.3 or SLED 11 SP1" has been moved to "SDB:Installing VMware server or workstation" A redirect has been created. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Any wiki has a lot of redirects as they are used as above, but also to help users to find articles that can be named in different ways, but talk about the same topic. Typical examples can be: * synonyms like Audio and Sound, WiFi and Wireless, or * capitalization, WiFi and wifi, YaST and yast. This days this is usually solved with search engines that ignore capitalization. * YOU and "YaST Online Update". User can search for "you" or "YOU" and get a lot of hits, but nothing about online update. One redirect "you" -> "YaST Online Update" and search will find it and present user with: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- (Redirected from You) YaST Online Update ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry for verbosity, but this mail can be used by other looking how to write articles in the wiki. -- Regards, Rajko -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
