[pmwiki-users] modifying wikish renaming pages/groups scripts to update links with spaces

[Alex Eftimiades]

Yes. An example might be:
[[Group With Spaces/Page With Spaces]]

This links to the page:
[[GroupWithSpaces/PageWithSpaces]]

I would like to change that to:
[[New Group With Spaces/New Page With Spaces]]

,which would then link to:
[[NewGroupWithSpaces/NewPageWithSpaces]]

Thanks,
Alex
