Feature completed, committed to documentation: ManagingTopics - continue dev discussion in TrashWebDev?
A page delete and rename function would help to get rid of unwanted and orphaned pages. Bob's Kehei Wiki has that implemented nicely, and it is protected with author access rights. I am considering a page delete and rename function without author rights. This could be dangerous, so the user interface must be designed carefully. How about this: When you delete or rename a page, a delete / rename confirmation page would show a list of all pages that have a link to the page to be deleted / renamed, and a recommendation to update those pages first before proceeding. (The rename function could do that automatically). Deleted pages go to a Trash Can web. An undo delete function could restore pages that have been deleted unintentionally. -- PeterThoeny - 08 Mar 2000
In order to know what pages link to the deleted page, you'll need to store a database of some sort of links to pages won't you? I do really like your idea of a TrashCanWeb. How about regular users can throw pages away (into trash can) and restore them from the trashcan. Only a smaller "administration" group can actually empty the trashcan and completely eliminate the page forever. So the admin crew only needs to check the trashcan on a semi regular basis to keep the trash can from overflowing. I think if you leave files in the trashcan long enough, you won't have to worry about doing too much error checking of page deletes. And, when creating new pages in the normal wiki, you can quickly scan the trashcan and if you find a match ask if they want to restore the trashed version instead of creating a new one... -- IainShigeoka - 08 Mar 2000
I would not track links to deleted pages. It is easier and better to show a delete confirmation page that has a list of pages that have a link to the current page, this is in effect the Refered-By link at the bottom of each topic. It can be shown using inline search (the
%SEARCH{...}% variable).
Example: User wants to delete the WebNotify page. The delete confirmation page shows a list of pages that have a link:
