We love using DokuWiki for our internal documentation but we are not quite happy with the support for page or namespace renames. I know there is a pagemove plugin and we use it but it doesn't seem to be developed any more, there are known issues with it and quite honestly, the move/rename task seems to be so complex in details that it would be an outstanding achievement if any third-party developer could get it all right.
So I'm kindly asking whether the development team wouldn't consider adding the page move functionality directly to the core. I don't know about others but when we want to keep our documentation manageable, we need to move pages or whole namespaces quite frequently and we are hitting a lot of subtle issues with the third-party plugin.
There has been a feature request for it quite a long time ago:
http://bugs.splitbrain.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=445&project=1 but it has been closed (possibly for valid reason back then). Rather than requesting reopening it or adding comments there, I'd rather start a discussion about whether the general public and the core developers think this should be provided in the basic distribution. We in our company certainly believe so.
Thanks,
Borek
