Question

I work for a group currently called "Media Ops". That name is sprinkled throughought our TWiki web: in the names of topics (MediaOpsFoo) in links inside topics, with and without spaces)

[[MediaOpsFoo]]  [[Media Ops Foo]]

Media Ops

Naturally, there is talk of changing the name of the team.

Changing all of those topics inside TWiki will be risk-prone and time-intensive.

Changing them on the server might be "easier" (in some ways) and more problematic in others (starting with the requirement that we need access to the server)

Has anyone done this before? What do you recommend?

The time is not iminent but change is definitely on the horizon.

Answer

GlobalReplacePlugin will be of help.

Yes, the GlobalReplacePlugin is your ticket. If there is a chance that the name of your product changes again you can replace it with a TWiki preferences setting, such as setting BAZAAR to a code name, then using it as %BAZAAR%.
