     7If you want to delete a page because you actually re-created a new page with the same content but a different name, it is recommended to keep the page and use it as a redirection page instead of completely deleting it, as to not frustrate the visitor with broken links when coming to the site from a search engine.

     10The ''Rename'' operation also offers you the possibility to create a redirection page. 
     11A redirection page is a short page that  contains a link such as  “See !SomeOtherPage”.
