Question

One of our users wanted to rename a TWiki page from XYZ to something more logical XaaaYbbbZcccc, using 'more topic actions' and 'rename topic'.

All instances of XYZ were changed but not only TWiki words.

Where XYZ appeared in any string or any anchor it was changed to the new topic name.

Is the rename check that what is being renamed is already a topic or is what I described normal

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.

The rename is pretty all-encompassing; it just matches that word in all other topics. So if you call a topic "the" then you are likely to run into problems. What you describe is normal. Any contributions that improve the algorithm are of course very welcome!
