This ensures that all links in the wiki continue to work, eliminating the need to spend time searching for and replacing old links. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have the appropriate permissions, you can, of course, return to the old page. There, you can disable the redirect and use the old page as a regular wiki page again. <\/p>\n\n<aside class=\"wp-block-group ct-artikel-zum-weiterlesen has-background is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-79a8db7e wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:8px;background-color:#f9fafb;margin-top:24px;margin-bottom:24px;padding-top:32px;padding-right:24px;padding-bottom:32px;padding-left:24px\">\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\">Read more<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/en\/help\/churchtools-modules\/other-wiki\/the-context-menu\/\" data-type=\"docs\" data-id=\"7473\">The Context Menu<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/en\/help\/churchtools-modules\/other-wiki\/how-can-i-view-all-the-pages-in-a-wiki-category\/\" data-type=\"docs\" data-id=\"7474\">How can I view all the pages in a wiki category?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/churchtools.academy\/en\/help\/churchtools-modules\/other-wiki\/the-search\/\" data-type=\"docs\" data-id=\"7482\">The Search<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Over time, page titles change or old pages become obsolete.
