Moving/Renaming pages break all links to that page

[plezops]

In creating our Wiki and changing pages to be in more logical places, we are breaking lots of referenced links by updating the pages.

To recreate:

1. Create pages: /page1 and /page2
2. Create a link on /page1 that links to /page2
3. Rename /page2 to /newdir/page2

• Expected behavior: the link on /page1 would update to /newdir/page2 automatically.
• Actual behavior: will break the link on /page1 which still points to /page2 after renaming.

Are there any workarounds or am I doing something wrong?

Seems to be referenced here but this hasn't been updated in almost a year and I do not see this as an active issue on Github.

I have also ran into this. The one suggestion that concerns me a bit though is that setting by page idea can cause issues. The best may be to use something like a GUID for referencing then it will be pretty much unique. Using something like that though will cause database bloat if you have a lot of pages.
