By the way, what happens if we rename wiki pages? I guess Trac will update all internal links, but external links (e.g., from the website) will be broken? We could fix our own website, but other websites would still be broken. How bad would that be?
Do you plan to fix links in the mailing list archives as well? How about links in our e-mail inboxes?
Nope. But we could add redirects for those pages linked from the mailing list archives and everyone's inbox. Similar to how we added redirects when moving from https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/ to the current location.
Also, I would expect Trac to *not* update wiki-internal links -- it doesn't update ticket ‘components’ when a component is renamed or deleted.
I just tried it and it looks good. So yes, Trac does update wiki-internal links.
And finally, the following pages are about using Trac and would go into trac/ (it's possible that Trac wouldn't like us renaming some of its pages, but I guess we'll find out):
Several parts of the Trac interface that you would be unable to modify link to these pages. (Most notably, there is a link to ‘WikiFormatting’ above the ‘Comment’ entry box on every ticket.)
Right, I had pages like WikiFormatting in mind when adding the comment that Trac might not like us renaming some of its pages. I guess we can find out if Trac is smart enough to update these links, too. Or we can try using redirects for these pages, too. If neither works, it's not the end of the world to leave these pages where they are.
