It's hard to tell without knowing the nature of the back-end
application, but redirects should be robust enough. If they aren't,
then DISPLAYTITLE is probably OK, but I can't think of a reason for
redirects not to work.

I need the pages to be addressable by a unique id that
does not change for back-end applications reasons. Are redirects my only option?

Subject: Re: [MediaWiki-l] Can I change the page title?
Moving a page creates a redirect from the old name by default, so the
old URL still works.
You can also use the DISPLAYTITLE magic word, but it's less robust and
should only be used in special cases. See

Is there a way to change the page title to
something other than the default WITHOUT changing the URL to the page?
IOW, I want to make the page title editable and the link to the page before the edit to
still work. Possible?
Thanks,
Al
