Why don't referring links rename on when I renamed my pbwiki page?
I just renamed a page and pbwiki did not rename the referring links. I think it's a bug that has to do with puncutation in the page name. This is the url of the page: https://oursitenotlisting.pbwiki.com/...
I’m cool with it, but probably found a bug.

Inappropriate?Hi Rich,
What "referring" links are you asking about? Are these links you created or are they links to the folder that we are generating?
The link you gave here does not appear to be from an existing wiki. Perhaps it would be best if you contact us while you are at your wiki. We'll be able to get back to you quicker that way.
You can always contact us at any time by clicking on the "Help" link at the top of the wiki. Once you arrive at the help page, we list many areas of help that we can provide instantly by showing you the relevant manual page. At the very bottom, you can click a link to contact us.

Inappropriate?Hi Clif,
Bug Summary: Referring links do not pick up page rename.
1) create a link to a not-yet-existent wiki page B in the current page (A), save.
2) click on the link you created, and create the new wiki page B.
3) Now rename wiki page B.
Expected Result:
All links to wiki page B should be updated with the new wiki page name.
Observed Result:
All links to wiki page B are broken.
Notes: I hope I'm doing something wrong. Every other wiki I have used has indexed internal representations of pages, which makes auto-updating referring links trivial.
I’m probably missing something

Inappropriate?I'm sorry Rich. That's a feature we don't currently support. You'll have to make that link change yourself.

Inappropriate?o.k. I understand. Just to put it in perspective, however, it's never just "change the link". It's "change all referring links", which can be a big task in a big wiki. So when you need it, this feature is a life saver.
