Improvement: when page url changes, we should be notified of wrong links in texts

[siesqo]

Problem

When somebody changes a page title, the URL is also redefined.
This gives problems when people already had linked to that page.

Possible Solution

• A module which checks for wrong links in pages (or in other external modules).

@Diewy - Doesn't Wijs have a module for this problem?

I don't think this is something that should be available in Fork itself. There are multiple tools out there to check for broken links.

Well, thinking about the Fork CMS "user friendly" part.
I would find this very useful if it is in the core.

The problem is you have a modular system, where modules don't know about each other. So you would need to create a system where all modules can notify ALL other modules that the url for an item is changes, and each module should implement methods that will check if their content contains links to an item.
Which I believe is a very complicated thing to implement.

The only thing that requires little work is that your module shows a warning when the url changes, so people are aware of the fact that there may be broken links.
