Question

One of my users deleted a topic that had many children (which were not deleted).

I thought that TWiki would reparent these topics automatically, but apparently it does not.

So now, whenever a user visits one of those orphan pages, a link to the deleted page (now on the Trash web) appears on the breadcrumb menu (You are here menu).

What would be the best way to handle these cases when a user needs to delete a page but not the children?

Should I just reparent the orphans manually, one by one?

Answer

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

Yes, you can reparent the orphans manually. You can make this easier with a global search & replace, see GlobalSearchAndReplace.

Ricardo, you are right. TWiki should do that automatically. How about raising a bug at Bugs:WebHome. Thanks for pointing that out.
