I need to fix a mis-spelling for this wiki page:

  https://wiki.akraino.org/display/AK/API+Sub-committee

But if I change the page title (remove the hyphen) it will break external links to the page. Is there a way to create an alias for a page, so that existing links still bring up the page ?

Thanks, Jeff

You are in luck. There used to be a redirect page macro as part of the standard package. Atlassian dropped it for some reason. But someone has a free replacement in the Marketplace:

page-redirect-for-confluence 

There is another version that is free on server, but paid on Cloud

redirection-for-confluence

Bill, thanks. I requested page-redirect-for-confluence and a dialog came up saying a request has submitted to my admin to make it available. How will I know the status ... by e-mail ... continue to check the available wiki macros ... other ?

Thanks.
