+The MediaWiki moving/renaming mechanism is pretty nice. It's easy to get a list of pages that point to the current page. When renaming a page it sticks a forwarding page in the original place. The larger the size of the wiki the more important organization tools become.
+
+I see the need for:
+
+* a new tool to mine incoming links to a given page
+* a new type of file to represent a forwarding page
+* a rename tool that can, at a minimum, move the existing page to the new name and optionally drop a forwarding page. If not unreasonably difficult, optionally rewrite incoming links to the new location.
