      Issue Summary

      After performing a site rename, any smart links that pointed to other confluence pages in the site created before the rename are broken.

      This is reproducible on Data Center: unknown

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Step 1. Create a Confluence site With at least Confluence standard trial (needed for site rename)
      2. Step 2. Create a page to link to
      3. Step 3. Create a page with a smart link to the page created in step 2. Display type can be any other than URL. Card or inline definitely show the error.
      4. Step 4. rename the site

      Expected Results

      Smart links are able to traverse the redirect and show as normal

      Actual Results

      Inline links show "- Can't find link " and cards are particularly bad showing errors like:

      https://atlassian-proxy.us-east-1.sp.prod.atl-paas.net/wiki/spaces/BLAH/pages/983076
      We couldn't find the link. Check the url and try editing or paste again.

      Workaround

      There is no workaround for this behavior other than to manually replace the links with the new URL.
