Re: [SMW-devel] Relations to redirected pages

[Denny V. <dv...@ai...>]

I was thinking along the same lines recently. because I was using lots 
of redirects in other wiki projects as well.

But then I thought -- hm, so what? Both the triplesearch as well as the 
inline queries return valid answers, although they are redirects -- but 
when clicking on them, the correct page will be shown, right?

You are right, it would be easy to implement I guess, and I'd do it for 
the next version -- I just want to understand the use case. Why would 
you want to know when a typed link points to a redirecting page?

I am probably missing somewhat here.

Or do you mean the following situation: if Kain is written as Cain, and 
I ask for all children of Cain, I won't get those that were entered as 
children of Kain?

This on the other hand would indeed be non-trivial... and kinda 
important, I am afraid...

Cheers,
denny
