Correct links pointing to edit/drafting mode

Users might insert links pointing to a page in edit or drafting mode instead of viewing mode, those links need to be fixed

Example:

/wiki/pages/resumedraft.action?draftId=819003629

To find those links the addon “Link management” can be used:

For each space:

  1. Space Settings \ Integrations \ Link Management \ Start scan

  2. Search for links for example containing “resumedraft” or “edit-v2“

  3. Fix every link

Correct links pointing to nowhere

When copying content in the Wiki it can happen that links are broken after pasting the content. Those links are empty or referring to “#”.

It seems the problem applies to links which are not fully qualified such as

for example:

/wiki/spaces/KB/pages/3331260419

To find those links the addon “Link management” can be used:

For each space:

  1. Space Settings \ Integrations \ Link Management \ Start scan

  2. Search for links for example containing “#”

  3. Fix every link

Clear undefined/hidden pages

An 'undefined' page is any page that has been linked to from within the Wiki, but that does not yet exist.

A ‘hidden’ page is any page that exist but has no parent and has not been linked to by any other page

Those “dead” links and pages need to be reviewed

For each space

  1. Space Settings \ Manage pages \ Undefinied

  2. Review pages

  3. Space Settings \ Manage pages \ Hidden

  4. Review pages
