That's easy (and already possible) -- I've already included it in gowiki,=
=20
see http://senseis.xmp.net/?UndefinedPages

I assume you mean rename pages? Yes, that would be made easier.

Also, I suggest that we split the wiki table into two: one table as it is=
=20
now, but instead of pagename with a pageid. Another table which does=20
pagename->pageid. That way we could have aliases of pagenames, e.g. (yet=20
another simplistic example) "WikiName" and "WikiNames" could both point t=
o=20
the same pageid.

I have to look at Jeff's db schema again - there was some useful stuff on=
=20
how he used a common structure for wiki and archive.

Why would I like to do this? Even if I delete pages I'd rather have a=20
dangling link like "Which explains why StevenWainsteadEatsWorms?" then=20
something like "Which explains why !PageRemoved!"

Right.
