1. Editing Wiki page titles

While I was looking at the tickets page I found this one: Ticket #794 "all instances of "varadic" are misspelled" and I figured that would be an easy fix. I fixed the spelling on the page but I can't figure out how to change the title of the page.

Do I just do a new page and copy all the stuff from the old page? Except I don't know how to do a new page. sad

To create a new Wiki page simply create a link to the page you want to exist. Then, when you click on the link the page will become. That's it. Be careful not to delete a link before you've captured the markup.

An oversight in the forum software. For now you'd need to get an admin with raw db access to manually perform the title update. Hopefully one of the things that we get fixed for free once we migrate to Discourse.

Actually, only admins can delete wiki pages. So I'd recommend against this as we might end up with two pages for the same thing, potentially introducing confusion.

Instead, I'd just link the wiki pages here, with old and new titles, and then let Greg know so he can add it to his TODO list of things to fix.
