manual changes to the name (as opposed to the URL) of the links to the article, as needed.
So on the technical side, we ideally would want (1) redirects to be automatically created whenever the name (and hence associated URL) of an article changes, and (2) a “what links here” feature so that an exhaustive list of articles linking to the article whose name has changed can be generated, to facilitate the introduction of the required manual changes.
I’ll reach out to the tech team and see what they think about this.
The way Wikipedia solves this is by
automatic redirects from the old to the new URL.

I actually think redirects are already being automatically created, though I’m not sure.
Correct.
