Renaming a Symbolic Link is done from the properties view of the page containing the link. Each link in the list will have a
Rename link that will initiate the renaming. The link contains a URL of the form:
variable defined: CODE=!lit?0?
variable defined: code=!lit?1?
variable defined: B=!lit?2?
variable defined: b=!lit?3?
variable defined: VAR=!lit?4?
variable defined: var=!lit?5?

But first we need to create a link to rename.
Included page: CreateRelativeSymbolicLink (edit)
Creating a symbolic link is done in the properties view of the page that will contain the link. There is a form where a user supplies a name for the link and a path for the linked page. When submitted the URL has the following form:
http://host/PathToPage?responder=symlink&linkName=
&linkPath=
First we need to create some pages to play with.
| Page creator. |
| Page name. |
valid? |
| LinkingPage |
true |
| LinkedPage |
true |
Now we create a symbolic link named SymLink. This links LinkedPage as a child of LinkingPage.

| LinkingPage?responder=symlink&linkName=SymLink&linkPath=LinkedPage |

When we look at the properties page we'll see the rename link.

Now click the
Rename link.

This should change the name of the symbolic link and redirect back to the properties view.

When we look at the properties page again, the symbolic link will have a different name.
