Revision as of 21:39, 28 December 2012
Use this process if there is any reason to believe a move would be contested. For technical move requests (e.g. spelling and capitalization fixes), see #Requesting technical moves.
Do not put more than one move request on the same article talk page, as this is not supported by the bot that handles updates to this page.
Suggesting a single page move
(To propose moving more than one page—for example, moving a disambiguation page in order to move another page to that title—see "Requesting multiple page moves" below.)
To request a single page move, create a new section at the bottom of the talk page of the article you want moved, using this format:
== Suggested move ==
{{subst:requested move|NewName}} Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize Google Books or Google News Archive results before providing other web results. ~~~~
Replace NewName
with the suggested new name of the page. The talk page section does not necessarily need to be named "Suggested move", though it is advised. If there have been previous move proposals on the talk page, use == Suggested move (xxxx) == where xxxx can be the year if that is appropriate, or "2" for a second discussion.
Leave the Subject/headline blank, as the template automatically creates the heading "Suggested move", along with a location for survey and discussion. Also note that the template must be substituted. The template will automatically include your signature.
{{subst:RMtalk|Proposed new name|Reason for move.}}
Note: Nominators should usually not add a separate support !vote, as the nomination itself qualifies as a !vote. Nominators may, of course, make comments and otherwise participate in the discussion. If you feel the need to explicitly !vote (e.g. to add a personal observation that isn't part of the formal nomination rationale, or because you no longer agree with the nomination but it is already supported by other parties and can't really be retracted), do so with "as nominator", e.g. * '''Rename, as nominator''': ...
Suggesting multiple page moves
Up to 30 related moves may be proposed at once, using a single template. On one of the talk pages of the affected articles, create a request and format it as below. A sample request for two page moves is shown here. For three page moves, add lines for current3 and new3, following this pattern. This template does not work properly with some titles - if you have trouble, eliminate the current1 line and start with new1.
==Suggested move==
{{subst:move-multi
| current1 = Current title of page 1 with the talk page hosting this discussion
| new1 = New title for page 1
| current2 = Current title of page 2
| new2 = New title for page 2
| reason = Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please default to Google Books or Google New Archive before providing any web results. Do not sign this.
For example, to propose moving the articles Wikipedia
and Wiki
, put this template on Talk:Wikipedia
, replacing current1
with Wikipedia
and current2
with Wiki
. Note that the discussion for all affected articles is held on the talk page of the article at current1
. Do not sign a request with ~~~~
as the template does this automatically. Do not skip pairs of numbers.
RMCD bot automatically places a notice section on the talk page of the additional pages that are included in your request, advising that the move discussion is in progress, where it is, and that all discussion for all pages included in the request should take place at that one location.
Note: Nominators should usually not add a separate support !vote, as the nomination itself qualifies as a !vote. Nominators may, of course, make comments and otherwise participate in the discussion. If you feel the need to explicitly !vote (e.g. to add a personal observation that isn't part of the formal nomination rationale, or because you no longer agree with the nomination but it is already supported by other parties and can't really be retracted), do so with "as nominator", e.g. * '''Rename, as nominator''': ...
