We are planning to move the article "11th edition
of the Encyclopædia
Britannica" to "Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition". As there are
some odd 15000 articles linking to it, could this cause any problems?
Probably not.
Those links are not automatically altered: the software creates a REDIRECT
where the old article was pointing at the new article. It is then your job,
assuming you are the "mover", to go through the list of links to that
REDIRECT and update them.
Assuming you are talking about
en.wikipedia.org, I can heartily recommend
AutoWikiBrowser for such a job, which can be found at [[WP:AWB]].
