[WIKI] Renaming doc pages?
I really want to rename a bunch of doc pages in the User Guide (for
example the IoC pages) that don't have descriptive names, mostly
because those names show up in the auto-generated links provided by
the {contentbylabel}, {children} and {scrollbar} macros.
The problem is that renaming a page in Confluence results in (I
assume) an orphan copy of the original page in the static site that is
forever after out of date. And if we do manually delete these orphan
pages then Google searchers will get 404s.
One solution would be to rename the page in Confluence, then create a
new Confluence page with the old name and have that page just have a
"This page has been moved to [...]" link pointing to the new page.
Should I do this? Is there some other problem I'm not seeing?

I went ahead and renamed most of the User Guide IoC pages, and for
each one I created a redirect page under the old name. The redirects
were necessary so that internal links to those pages would not be
broken throughout the exported site.
Some time in the next few days it'd be nice if somebody would do a
complete export of the whole site so the links on the *other* pages
are updated.

I'm ok with just doing the rename. Eventually, we'll find all the orphaned
.html files and delete them. The new structure of the Tapestry web site is
too new to get bogged down worrying about old search results, I think.
