Template:Requested move, with the assistance of User:RMCD bot, populates Wikipedia:Requested moves § Current discussions.
This template is substituted for input validation and archiving reasons (so a permanent record of the proposed page name can be placed on the talk page).
Edits to this template, and Module:Requested move, which it invokes, can adversely affect RMCD bot. Please check edits with the bot operator before implementation.
Usage
[ਸੋਧੋ]Specified new name
[ਸੋਧੋ]Use this template to tag articles with a controversial or potentially controversial move request. For uncontroversial (technical) requests, use {{subst:RMassist}}.
Please note that unlike {{article for deletion}}, the discussion for a page move must take place on the talk page, not on Wikipedia:Requested moves.
Add this template at the bottom of the talk page of the page that you want to be moved. It should be formatted like this:
{{subst:Requested move|NewName |reason= Why}}
Where:
- NewName = your proposed new name for the page, i.e., the name which the page should be renamed or moved to
- Why = your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate
This will create a template (see Template:Requested move/dated) in a new section on the talk page, and links to the old page and new page. For example:
{{subst:Requested move|Template:Move |reason= Move was the original name of this template, and we should revert to that.}}
will create:
ਫਰਮਾ:Requested move/dated/mirror
Template:Requested move → ਫਰਮਾ:Move – Move was the original name of this template, and we should revert to that. Username (talk) 21:54, 21 ਨਵੰਬਰ 2024 (UTC)
User:RMCD bot will copy the move information to WP:RM, usually within 20 minutes.
Unspecified new name
[ਸੋਧੋ]If you're unsure about what the best new name is, use a question mark for the new name.
{{subst:Requested move|? |reason= The name should be either "move" or "rename", let's discuss which is better.}}
creates:
ਫਰਮਾ:Requested move/dated/mirror
Template:Requested move → ? – The name should be either "move" or "rename", let's discuss which is better. Username (talk) 21:54, 21 ਨਵੰਬਰ 2024 (UTC)
Custom header
[ਸੋਧੋ]You may also ask the template to override the default header.
{{subst:Requested move|Template:Rename |reason= Rename is a more intuitive term.|header = Rename this?}}
creates:
ਫਰਮਾ:Requested move/dated/mirror
Template:Requested move → ਫਰਮਾ:Rename – Rename is a more intuitive term. Username (talk) 21:54, 21 ਨਵੰਬਰ 2024 (UTC)
Multiple related move requests
[ਸੋਧੋ]Related moves should be combined into a single request. This is particularly applicable when changing a primary topic, which generally requires moving at least a disambiguation page and another related page. Additional proposed moves should be formatted like this:
{{subst:Requested move|NewName |reason= Why |current2 = Current title of page 2 |new2 = New title for page 2 |current3 = Current title of page 3 |new3 = New title for page 3 . . |currentN = Current title of page N |newN = New title for page N }}
Where:
- NewName = your proposed new name for page 1, i.e., the page whose talk page is being used for the discussion
- N = the number of pages which are proposed for moves
Adding survey and discussion subsections
[ਸੋਧੋ]Use the code |talk=yes
to append the subsections in {{Requested move/talk}}.
Suppressing the signature or the section header
[ਸੋਧੋ]This template automatically adds a signature to the requested move reason. To suppress the signature, you can use the code |sign=no
. To suppress the section header, |header=no
.
Default behavior
[ਸੋਧੋ]- If neither parameter {{{1}}} or {{{new1}}} are specified, then ? – an unspecified destination to be decided on the talk page – is assumed
- If neither parameter {{{2}}} or {{{reason}}} are specified, the default text is "Please place your rationale for the proposed move here." This text should be edited to replace it with an actual rationale for the requested move.
Deprecated parameters
[ਸੋਧੋ]- Parameter current1, which was formerly used by ਫਰਮਾ:Move-multi (documentation), has been deprecated and is ignored.
- Use of unnamed parameter {{{2}}} is not encouraged, because an unnamed parameter doesn't support reasons containing an equals sign (often in web links), due to MediaWiki ਫਰਮਾ:Bug.
