<p dir="ltr">Hi,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Sorry, but controlling random, otherwise unrelated jails and servers, via some rst comment in a svn repo isn't happening. Were not going to start orchestrating the entire rack via comments! Get me the full list of redirects you need and they can be put into the server config.<br></p>

clarify what my idea is.<br>
<br>
The goal is to redirect wiki pages to corresponding manual pages with a<br>
system which allows any documentor to quickly and easily add redirects<br>
as they are noticed.<br>
My proposed solution is to:<br>
<br>
1. Define redirects by placing a special comment inside the manual<br>
page's source, containing the wiki page path.<br>
For example, you might put something like this:<br>
<br>
.. _wiki-redirect: /Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Nodes/Shaders<br>
<br>
In the rEST source of<br>
<a href="http://blender.org/manual/render/cycles/nodes/shaders.html" target="_blank">http://blender.org/manual/render/cycles/nodes/shaders.html</a>.<br>
<br>
This would be easy to add when editing manual pages for other reasons,<br>
and would not require any extra actions when moving pages around inside<br>
the manual.<br>
<br>
2. Compile these urls into a list via a script which searches *.rst<br>
files for these comments, and uses the path of the *.rst file containing<br>
the comment as the destination of the redirect. So the example above<br>
would generate output like:<br>
<br>
/Doc:2.6/Manual/Render/Cycles/Nodes/Shaders -><br>
/manual/render/cycles/nodes/shaders<br>
<br>
3. Use the resulting list (formatted however it needs to be) to perform<br>
redirection from the wiki, perhaps using the mediawiki redirection<br>
system Dan mentioned?<br>
<br>
<br>
Hope that clarifies things :)<br>
Any thoughts?<br>
