Migrating link pages to database[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

I have begun migrating our early link pages to the database. This provides the following advantages:

  • It makes broken links easier to fix.
  • It makes link pages easier to edit.
  • It gives link pages a more uniform URL.
  • It gives me the opportunity to find broken links and fix them, or to delete link pages that are no longer useful.
  • Having all links in the database will make it easier to write and deploy a site-wide link checker.

As I migrate old link pages to the database, I am adding the old url and the new itemid to a table called RelocatedPages. This table will be used by the 404 script to point visitors toward the new link pages. It may also be used for any other HTML pages we eventually migrate to the database. But for now, I'm making link pages the first priority.
