Automatically Fix Associations on Rename #106

Closed redcitylights closed 3 years ago

redcitylights commented 3 years ago

This was a misunderstanding. I think that a page got deleted, either by a bug or a misclick, and I thought it had only destroyed the association.

Currently when a topic is renamed it breaks associations involving that topic. This could be fixed automatically

@redcitylights Hi. Could you explain the issue? The reason I ask is that topic names (plural: a topic can have one or more names) are independent from the topic identifier. Renaming a topic changes the name but never the identifier: topic identifiers cannot be changed. Topic identifiers are used as part of an association not the topic name. So, renaming a topic will not break associations of which the topic is part of.

Are you perhaps referring to links in, for example, topic texts or notes? In that case, renaming a topic will not automagically update the anchor text of the corresponding links. You could argue that this behaviour is a bug :)
