Anyway, I don't want to fix all the links on the internet, but since I've already fixed those on PyPI, all it takes to apply the fix is to copy/paste these 4 commands into the console. Not much work, really. ;) > Again: Please don't do this. > I think you're not against renaming pages, but against renaming without redirects. In fact, if MoinMoin could automatically insert #REDIRECT directives when a page is renamed, then there won't be any problem like this at all. I hope that pydotorg@ or infrastructure@ have this item on their feature lists. OT: Speaking of the links and leaving them as-is. IMHO having a clean outlook has direct influence on the attractiveness of the project. Having some obvious stuff to fix on the main page is a motivation for me (as a bad coder who like to hack) to go download and fix the stuff. But inconsistency in URL design and nits in overall site image (no credits, no license, no "fork me on github", strange layout and no solid design, no reference to framework used in the footer and many more other subjective factors) have direct influence on desire to contribute from somebody more serious.
