Is it possible to automatically redirect a Redmine wiki page to another page?

Question

Is it possible to automatically redirect a Redmine wiki page to another page?

I mean a mechanism similar to Wikipedia's "redirected from..." so I can assign different titles to the same page (with one of them being the main one).

I've just tried it with Redmine 3.1.0. You need access to the database. It's not that complicated, though it is not official.

Insert one line per redirect into the table wiki_redirects. You need the wiki id, which is the project id in normal cases. To find the id look into the wikis table.

Insert:

• id: (should be set by the database system)
• wiki_id: From which wiki should be redirected (is likely the same as wiki_id if redirecting takes place in a single wiki, and not across projects)
• title: The not existing page name from which will be redirected
• created_on: some date (I wouldn't use one which is in the future...)
• redirects_to: the target page name
• redirects_to_wiki_id: the target wiki id

Since your working in the database you have to maintain the entries there. Modifications and deletions have to be done there as well.
