Hi devs,
We see more and more wikis with tons of redirects and issues to manage
them, see https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-14570
“
Rationale for turning it off by default:
- Several users have reported a usability issue about automatic redirects.
The way they express it is the following: "I have duplicates pages in my
wiki. I don't understand why this is happening. I'm choosing to rename
pages and not to copy them but I still get duplicates in the Navigation
panel".
Can't we hide the original page when we add the redirection so it won't be
listed anymore, instead of changing the default behavior?
Thanks
