Initial status of the WikiRename feature

+There's now a development branch for adding a page rename operation to the TracWiki, in [source:/sandbox/wiki-rename].
+
+Among the various possibilities for performing a rename, this implementation aims at simplicity. The page name is modified "in-place", i.e. the object identity is mutated and as such, the whole history is kept and becomes associated to the renamed wiki page.
+
+ - Status: initial version, should work reasonably well.
+ - View the changes: log:sandbox/wiki-rename
+ - Test the branch, e.g.: 
+{{{
+% svn co http://svn.edgewall.org/repos/trac/sandbox/wiki-rename
+% cd wiki-rename
+% python setup.py develop
+% python trac/web/standalone.py -p 8000 <your-test-environment>
+}}}
+
+You need to be a `WIKI_ADMIN` in order to be able to rename a page (or at the very least, have the new `WIKI_RENAME` permission).
+
+== How it works ==
+
+'''Example:''' renaming !WikiStart to !ProjectHome
+
+ - before the rename:
+
+   || ''pagename'' || ''text'' || ''comment'' ||
+   || !WikiStart || version1 || comment1 ||
+   || !WikiStart || version2 || comment2 ||
+   || !WikiStart || version3 || comment3 ||
+
+ - after the rename:
+
+   || ''pagename'' || ''text'' || ''comment'' ||
+   || !ProjectHome || version1 || comment1 ||
+   || !ProjectHome || version2 || comment2 ||
+   || !ProjectHome || version3 || comment3 ||
+
+   the !WikiStart page will be (optionally) recreated with a redirection to the new page:
+
+   || ''pagename'' || ''text'' || ''comment'' ||
+   || !WikiStart || See !ProjectHome ||Renamed !WikiStart to !ProjectHome  ||
+
+== Overview of the changes ==
+
+ - added new `WikiPage.rename` and `Attachment.reparent_all` methods
+ - added new `wiki_rename.html` template and the corresponding handler methods, `WikiModule._render_confirm_rename` and `WikiModule._do_rename` methods 
+
+== Discussion ==
+
+Feel free to provide feedback.
