move with redirect
Hi, thx for advice concerning [[SeaMonkey:Own Sync]], I know that moving is the better way (I was Wikipedia Admin, long ago during the exciting early days). Unfortunately I never checked what useful functions might be hidden behind the "▼" left from the search string input line. Now I will know better in future. -- [[User:Rrbd|Rrbd]] ([[User talk:Rrbd|talk]]) 06:47, 11 May 2015 (PDT)
== move with redirect ==
Dear GPHemsley,
I see you've done a bunch of good work maintaining the Mozilla wiki.
Forgive me for only messaging you when things go wrong.
I see you recently moved several pages without leaving a redirect.
My understanding is that such moves without a redirect -- for example, page [[DOM:Home Page]] to [[DOM/Links]] -- instantly breaks all 7 internal Mozilla wiki links to that page and some unknown number of external links to that page.
How is this different from what Tim Berners-Lee ranted about in [http://www.w3.org/Provider/Style/URI.html "Cool URIs don't change"]?
Wouldn't it be better to move pages with a redirect,
so people who click on those links still end up at the same content (but with a small note about the redirect)?
