Question

Hello

We would like to clean up our TWiki webs by indentifying topics that are no longer needed. To define a topic that is no longer needed I suppose I need a search for old topics by a certain date that are note linked to by other topics. I have a search like

%SEARCH{ "\.*" web="myWeb" scope="topic" regex="on" nosearch="on" nototal="on" order="modified"    format="| [[$topic]] | $wikiusername  | $date |" limit="100" }%

that lists the oldest files. Is it possible to know if these are linked to by other topics?

You can do a nested search to find backlinks. Note that nested searches are slow.

| *50 Oldest Topics* | *Backlinks* |
%SEARCH{ "\.*" regex="on" nosearch="on" nototal="on" order="modified" format="| <b>[[$topic]]</b>%BR% &nbsp;&nbsp; $wikiusername - $date | $percntSEARCH{ \"$topic\" regex=\"on\" nosearch=\"on\" nototal=\"on\" format=\"$dollartopic\" separator=\", \" }$percnt |" limit="50" }%
