An alias directive could work like an inverse redirect, but in a more maintainable way. Currently, a page might have several redirects leading to it, without an easy way of enumerating them. Therefore, the following directive is suggested for addition (possibly by means of a plugin): > The `alias` and `aliastext` directives implicitly create > redirect pages to the page they are used on. If two or more pages claim a > non-existing page to be an alias, a disambiguation page will automatically > generated. If an existing page is claimed as an alias, it will be prefixed > with a note that its topic is also an alias for other pages. > > All aliases to a page are automatically listed below the backlink and tag > lists at the bottom of a page by default. This can be configured globally by > setting the `alias_list` configuration option to `false`, or set explicitly > per alias by specifying `list=true` or `list=false`. > > Similar to the `taglink` directive, `aliastext` produces the alias name as > well as registering it. > > ## Usage example > > `Greece.mdwn`: > > > Greece, also known as \[[!aliastext Hellas]] and officially the > > \[[!aliastext "Hellenic Republic"]], is a … > > > > <!-- there are so many people who misspell this, let's create a redirect --> > > \[[!alias Grece list=false]] > > This page by itself will redirect from the "Hellas" and "Hellenic Republic" > pages as if they both contained just: > > > \[[!meta redir="Greece"]] > > If, on the other hand, `Hellas Planitia` also claims `[[!alias Hellas]]`, the > Hellas page will look like this: > > > **Hellas** is an alias for the following pages: > > > > * \[[Greece]] > > * \[[Hellas Planitia]] The proposed plugin/directive could be extended, eg. by also including old-style redirects in the alias list, but that might introduce unwanted coupling with the meta directive.
