This is where I think relink can make people lazy. The unique key to a tiddler is the title, but it is so easy to change the key, which is a powerful benefit but there are a subset of situations where changing the key needs further thought.
If relink just "handles it", we may just forget the impact of a change, Apart even from external links there is a historical event involved in Bombay to Mumbai. As Charlie said SERIOUS IMPLICIT KNOWLEDGE, This change supports my approach which is to avoid loosing information. In this case if you simply renamed you loose the old name. So if renaming results in lost of information further steps should be taken. Perhaps logging renames in a data tiddler that is searchable would offer a level of record, so that a search returns something like *Mumbai (Bombay)* if this was confirmed, or *Mumbai (Bombay)? *if not confirmed. Perhaps we could use Mario's alias plugin or similar tools to somewhat automate this. I doubt capturing all title renames even over a long period would consume much space.
