The issue you are describing is http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13354
(fixed in 8.2).

Hi,
I have trouble renaming pages because of an old redirection on my 7.4.2
XWiki instance.
I'll try to summerize how it happened :
- First, a wiki page called "Framework" with a lot of subpages was
created.
- Then, the users wanted to rearrange the subpages so they created a copy
which they named Framework.new
- When they where happy with the new page, they renamed the initial
Framework page in Framework.old.
- Trying to rename Framework.new into Framework failed
My problem is that by default, when you rename a page (in this version of
XWiki at least), the checkbox "Redirect to new page" is checked,
effectivement creating a HTTP redirect when users are still using the old
link. I understand the advantage of this method : you can have the page
renamed without breaking the existing links.
But now Framework.new can't be renamed in Framework, as the
Framework.WebHome URL points to Framework.old.WebHome.
Even if I remove all the pages from Framework.old, I
still can't rename it.
That's not what you need to remove. When you renamed "Framework" to
"Framework.old" XWiki left behind a blank hidden "Framework" page that
does
the redirect to "Framework.old". Same for all the child pages of
"Framework" (that have been moved as a consequence of the rename). So you
need to delete the "Framework" page and all its child pages (NOTE: that is
not the original Framework page but the one XWiki left behind to do the
redirect). Check my last comment on http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-13354
to see how to do that.
Hope this helps,
Marius
Is there a menu/velocity script to remove these redirections ?
Thanks in advance
