#REDIRECT ticket:976 In the meantime, this is the: = Ticket Aliases Proposal = Tickets are identified by a number. That's fine, except that it sometimes happen that one has to work simultaneously on several dozens of tickets. In that case, knowing them by heart can become problematic... Of course, there's the Report, Query and Search facilities. One could even use the Wiki to maintain informal groups of tickets. But it would be nice to have textual aliases for tickets. The alias would be an alternative identifier for the ticket. There would be a very simple way to achieve this: simply create a wiki page having the desired alias name, and put the appropriate ticket TracLinks as its only content! Then, before displaying the page, the Wiki module could check quite simply if the only content of the page is a link, and if this is the case, simply redirect to the corresponding target. == Extension to other Trac objects == As one can see, this mechanism would work not only tickets, but for any kind of Trac object (aliases to wiki pages, changesets, file, etc.) This mechanism can be implemented in a similar way than the ''redirect'' feature of other Wikis: * http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redirect_page and [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Redirect WikiMedia's #REDIRECT] * [http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/HelpOnProcessingInstructions?highlight=%28redirect%29 MoinMoin's #redirect] * A [http://svn.ipd.uni-karlsruhe.de/trac/javaparty/wiki/TracRedirect redirect] macro for Trac, which could be used as a starting point for the implementation. I think it would actually be better if Trac had this capability built-in: * easier installation (i.e. no installation) * combine this with a TracAdmin `wiki rename` command (see #1106)
