I would recommend to use Sling Alias (Advanced Tab) property in the page properties instead of rename the page.

The property sling:alias set on any pages to indicate an alias name for the page. For example, /content/visitors may have the sling:alias property set to besucher allowing the page to be addressed in an URL as /content/besucher as well as the original path /content/visitors.

    Thanks for your suggestion. In this case, I created a new page (using the new template ) to replace the old template page, using the same path, so I need to rename the old page to another url, failed actually. Is there any way to achieve it？Thanks.

      Hi @dorothy007 

       

      It will automatically adjust name in references.You can try on one dummy page in local instance.

       

      alternative, can try @mahedi_sabuj solution as well.

       

      Hope it helps.

        Tried. After the warning, I can't proceed the next step.

        Thanks. I haven't found a solution yet. I tried both ways below and failed.

        1. Rename the page: Warning the page has more than 150 references and cannot move to next step.

        2. Delete the page: The page is deleted and disappeared from the content tree, but the page URL is still live. I cannot create or rename the new page with the URL name which I have deleted.

         

        Do you have any recommend？Thanks in advance.

          We can use a Groovy script to rename a page and find its references. Recently we did for some other purpose like DM migration
