-----------------------------------
> Rename may cause dataloss
> -------------------------
>
> Key: JSPWIKI-30
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-30
> Project: JSPWiki
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: Core & storage
> Affects Versions: 2.5.139-beta
> Reporter: Janne Jalkanen
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.8
>
> Attachments: Rename.jsp.html, realerrorpage.txt
>
>
> If rename fails due to an exception in PageRenamer, the end result may be
> wiping out of some of the pages that refer to the linking page. The
> preconditions seem to include a complicated link sentence. I managed to get
> this to happen on jspwiki.org by renaming page "MyCodingStandard" to
> "JSPWikiCodingStandard", which resulted in some of the renaming to fail. I
> think some of the links were of the form "my coding standard".
> Suggested correction: let's get rid of the link "guesser", and just modify
> the actual link reference - and if it's missing, we'll add one.
> Note that this is not real dataloss; you can still get the old page from the
> page history. It just causes a new, empty page to be put into the repository.
