Thread:Project:Support desk/Moving without leaving redirects but fixing the referencing pages?

Hi.

I probably had to google it myself, but not sure about the search query. Let me try. Suppose there are improperly titled pages, and some day I would like to move the pages to fix the titles. MediaWiki offers a way of moving pages with leaving a redirect. This is a good way, but not the best one from my perspective. The reason is simple: if you leave such a "system/by-design" redirect, you'll get a lot of such pages as time passes by. It's a sort of flood. I would like to know: is there a way of renaming pages not leaving a redirect, but really moving a page and fixing *all* references automatically, so there could be no any reason of leaving a redirect? It would be really great, if such a feature could just fix markup to NEW_PAGE at the referencing articles, because OLD_PAGE brings nothing in this case. As far as I know, MediaWiki does not have a feature like this. Probably a bot is a right way to go?

Thanks!
