Description

When renaming am page to an empty name and enabling the option to rename all subpage:

• an error is displayed that the main page can not be renamed ("Sie können eine Seite nicht auf einen leeren Seitennamen umbenennen. None None" in german).
• the subpages get renamed nevertheless, so these get names like /subpage
• the Wiki is now totally messed up, as the subpages can not be accessed via the web

Steps to reproduce

1. Make a WikiPage

2. Edit it and insert the links to two sub pages on the WikiPage

    * [[/SubPage1]]
    * [[/SubPage2]]

3. Edit the sub pages with some stub input.

4. Go back to the WikiPage and select the RenamePage action.

5. Rename the page to the empty string.

6. Select "Alle /UnterSeiten auch umbenennen?" (something like rename all /SubPages).

7. Click the "Seite umbenennen" Button.
8. A notice is displayed:

   • "Sie können eine Seite nicht auf einen leeren Seitennamen umbenennen. None None"

   • Diese Seite wirklich umbenennen?"

9. Nevertheless the sub pages already gut renamed to /SubPage1 and /SubPage2.

10. When reviewing the RecentChanges one will see that the subpages got renamed from WikiPage/SubPage1 to /SubPage1 .

11. It is not possible to get access to the pages named in this way, as the leading / gets removed somewhere between the browser and MoinMoin .

Discussion

Renaming a page to an empty name makes no sense, thus this case should be catched and rejected by the code.
