Space Links Validator/Converter

Links to pages within Confluence site are relative, which means that the links will remain correct and will not be broken after moving pages or renaming pages.

If a link from one page to other Confluence page is set as Web Link (absolute - for example, using Insert - Link - Web Link), it will be ported as a fully-qualified URL, containing the current base URL.

Such links will have to be manually updated if the base URL is changed or if the page title is renamed.

Atlassian documentation on working with Links - Confluence Links.
