Question

One of my users deleted a topic that had many children (which were not deleted).

I thought that TWiki would reparent these topics automatically, but apparently it does not.

So now, whenever a user visits one of those orphan pages, a link to the deleted page (now on the Trash web) appears on the breadcrumb menu (You are here menu).

What would be the best way to handle these cases when a user needs to delete a page but not the children?

Should I just reparent the orphans manually, one by one?

Answer

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

Yes, you can reparent the orphans manually. You can make this easier with a global search & replace, see GlobalSearchAndReplace.

Ricardo, you are right. TWiki should do that automatically. How about raising a bug at Bugs:WebHome. Thanks for pointing that out.
