TYPO3 Core

There are no redirects created after slug change...

The scenarios are about creating redirects manually.

Frank, it would be interesting to know where this is going conceptually. If you can point me to information, that would be helpful (and also prevent other people from creating pointless issues, patches and extensions which "fix" the URL handling). Thanks.

There are some open questions / issues which might already be resolved, if I had a better idea of where the slug / redirects handling is going in TYPO3.

E.g. automatically creating redirects on slug changes.

In my experience, people do tend to change URLs and the tables will likely be bloated over time. So a good expiration and cleanup strategy would be useful. If someone changes the slug several times in a short period of time, you may want to replace the redirect and not create new ones. (For example someone chooses a slug which already existed, a "/something-1" gets created, gets changed again, etc.).

Currently, there is no possibility for editors to see existing slugs and redirects for a page and subpages. (in realurl this was possible) This results in people fumbling in the dark and possibly making bad choices for the slugs.

Also, the slug no longer depends on slug of parent, so long term the slugs will likely generally diverge. I heard something may be implemented, where you can choose to change slugs of subpages as well.

Also, I am not sure how to handle the permissions. You have to give editors permissions to the slugs so they can change them after page creation, but afterwards you may only want a few trusted users to be able to change slugs and access redirects. It might be useful to be able to protect the slug field for a page.

(I skimmed through the documentation and it is good, but does not answer all questions)
