http forwards
I am reorganizing some pages in our in-house wiki and realized that it will
invalidate any bookmarks created by other team members. I wonder if there is
some easy way to have the old URLs forward to the new ones.
I'm thinking what I would do is create a page with the old name that
forwards to the new page. Short-term solution is to just include a link to
the new page and a message saying "we moved it, so click here". But I was
hoping to automate it a bit.
One possibility is to write a plugin; this I can easily do but would require
a little time. Parameter would be the new page name. Output of the plugin
would be an http refresh that loads the new page. That way the user doesn't
need to click on anything; old bookmarks continue to work.
Could the same thing be accomplished with interwiki links? Something like
[forward:old page name] and have it output an http refresh tag?
Or is there an even better way to do this that I'm not thinking of?

Joseph,
Thanks for the pointer; I had not seen this one. However, I followed to
links to Murray's site and I still can't find the .jar to download.
Any pointers to an installable package?

Cool. This is much better.
Before anyone asks, the only way to edit a page that uses this technique is
to fashion an Edit url (i.e.
http://hostname/jspwiki/Edit.jsp?page=old%20page).

No need for that even. Just put
[{SET alias='new name'}] on your old page, and you will be redirected
automatically.
If it has completely changed servers, then
[{SET redirect='http://new-address/'}] helps.
