===== Download and Installation =====

Download and install the plugin using the [[plugin:plugin|Plugin Manager]] using the download link given above. Refer to [[:Plugins]] on how to install plugins manually.

===== Configuration/Usage =====

The plugin stores a list of page/redirect pairs in a config file called ''redirect.conf'' in the plugin directory. This file needs to be writable by the webserver to edit it from the administration menu.

In order to implement the redirections, just place on the ''redirect.conf'' file lists of the old pages, followed by the new ones:

<code>
old_namespace:my_page new_namespace:my_page
</code>

On this example, when the users try to access old_namespace:my_page it will be redirected to new_namespace:my_page

Access to the configuration is granted for [[config:Managers]] and [[config:Superusers]].
