Wiki with good support for page moves?

Question

We use DokuWiki to manage our internal documentation but the page renames / moves are not supported very well (there is no built-in way other than messing with raw files manually and the third-party plugin 'pagemove' is no longer developed). Which is a pain.

I'm looking for an alternative which will be similarly simple as DokuWiki (must be filesystem-based) but handle the page renames/moves well. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Starting with Comparison of wiki software and sorting them by Data backend, there seem to be quite a few file system based wiki's. Skipping the webpages that are down or incomprehensible turns up the following viable candidates:

• MoinMoin
• Twiki
• PmWiki (after installing a plugin)
• JSPWiki

In the end it's up to you to decide which of these best suits your needs & supports migrating your existing contents to the new wiki (no small feat), but at least it's a start.

For anyone whose search lands them on this page - you might also be interested in the plug-in that keeps links for moved and renamed pages in DokuWiki: http://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:move
