Comment (by ClashTheBunny):

 I believe from_name is always required, which would be nice to include in
 the text.  Maybe the first paragraph could look like this:

     This instructs the node to relink a child of the given source
 directory, into a different directory and/or to a different name. The
 source and destination directories must be writeable. {{{from_name}}} must
 exist and must be be supplied.  {{{to_dir}}} may be the same as the source
 directory and {{{to_name}}} may be the same as {{{from_name}}}, but
 {{{to_dir}}} and {{{to_name}}} are always required. If the destination
 link (directory and name) is the same as the source link, the operation
 has no effect.

 and again as a quote:

 {{{

 into a different directory and/or to a different name. The source and
 destination directories must be writeable. {{{from_name}}} must exist

 {{{to_dir}}} and {{{to_name}}} are always required. If the destination

 }}}

 But even without that, I think this is great. +1
