[opencms-dev] How to move content properly

[Daniel Wiesner]

I think the first option is the better one. The kind of internal links 
in this style: "/en/projects/overview.html" istead of 
"page?id=4532534..." includes additional information for users and 
searchbots.
Maybe there is a way to rewrite internal links after moving a page in a 
new module under admin/content-tools?
