It would be nice to enter "disclaimer" or "node/666" instead of the node numbers - this will make it easier for non-geeks to manage.

Thx!

I am not sure I understand this request. Are your referring to the title? There can be multiple nodes with the same title, so "disclaimer" could be ambiguous, but "node/666" is not.

Sorry I was unclear - spent too much time talking to myself :-)

Today we have an option to enter the node number. (already good).

Entering a URL relative to the drupal root would be better for a number of reasons and uses:
- old-style bynode adddressing preserved by node/1234

- alias addressing like legal/terms_and_conditions would be sweet - this is what I am asking for. It would have the benefit of being able to easily point visitors to the page from, say, the footer.

[
- maybe even pick the page from an full external URL for the sites where drupal is just a part of a bigger innfrastructure? (now I am just dreaming, this is not a request yet)
]

Thx!
