Hi Killian,
What you are saying sounds right to me, but I can't agree with your
conclusion. I certainly do have a whole table full of local pages listed as
full external links which they should not have been. And that causes
disruption after migration as the full URL points to the old Wiki rather
than its new location.
For instance, you have a Wiki at
wiki.example.com . You decided to migrate
it to
wiki1.example.com You have an image at
http://wiki.example.com/wiki/images/abc.jpg That image after migration
should end up being at
http://wiki1.example.com/wiki/images/abc.jpg but it
remains at
http://wiki.example.com/wiki/images/abc.jpg which obviously no
longer works.
Now, if you referenced it using relative referencing you would simply refer
to it as wiki/images/abc.jpg which would work on both machines. So now my
question is, how do I make that happen?
Thanks.
Boris.

Hi Boris,
as far as I know, MediaWiki supports only these types of links:
1) links to other pages in the same Wiki
2) interwiki links
3) external links with absolute URLs
So you can't make links with relative URLs lying on your web server. Am
I right?
