[Freeswitch-docs] Old internal links
Hi all — I've noticed that there seem to be a ton of links in the Confluence wiki that point to the old wiki. This is really annoying, since you click on a supposedly helpful link and are immediately presented with modal alerts telling you you're in the wrong place! Has there been previous thought put into some kind of automated cleanup? Even though some content has moved, no doubt just translating the links very mechanically would get a high percentage of them to work. — Walter
not so much on an automated one. We don’t have a good mapping. Someone really is going to need to do it by hand i fear.

Yes, Ryan Harris was very active earlier in the year writing scripts to do some cleanup. The thing about these old links is that in some cases the new page has a different name or has been subdivided or combined with other pages. I’m not sure how to address that. When I edit a page I check the links to see if any need updating, but that is obviously a very slow process.

Should we be reporting it when we run across these? If so, how. I haven't been able to get my arms around Confluence well enough to fix anything. Jim On 04/06/2018 04:39 PM, Bote Man wrote:

Under the Community link there are tips and guidelines as well as a link to a YouTube video that provides tutorial on Confluence. Confluence can be quirky, but basically you click on the errant link and a mini-menu pops up below it. You can select Change and paste in the correct link. Then save the whole page with the button at the bottom. It would really help if everybody does this because there have got to be hundreds of links to the old wiki scattered throughout Confluence, so it’s worth the effort. Thanks.
