= Discussing Advanced Wiki Operations =

The Trac wiki currently lacks some advanced features you can find in more mature wikis, operations like '''rename''', '''copy''' and '''merge'''.

This will summarize and expand the proposals found in #1106 and other places.

== Operations

=== Rename

See WikiRename.

=== Copy

Mainly interesting if supporting ''batch'' copies, a.k.a. Subversion style branching.

=== Merge

See #152.

The attachment `rename` methods from WikiRename will also be relevant for this operation.

== User Interface

The advanced operations should not clutter the wiki page. 
Instead of ''Copy'' and ''Merge'' buttons coming in addition to the ''Rename'' one, maybe a single ''Advanced...'' button would be preferable. 
This could go to a single page containing the different forms, one for each advanced operation. Plugins could add their own advanced operation there.
