Help:Moving a page

Moving pages is fairly simple and is a good safety measure to ensure that games say "Pikmin" instead of "pIKmin". In other words, it is a way to fix errors in the title or even change the title entirely.

What It Does
As stated, moving will change the title. When a page is moved, a redirect will be created on the old page. This is confusing, so here is an example:

Suppose I have made a game called "Pikmin: Habitat", only I made the title "pikmin habitat". With the move action, a new page will automatically be created with the title I desire (I could simply change the caps and make it "Pikmin: Habitat", or I could even go so far as to change it to "Pikmin: Createworld"). On the original page ("pikmin habitat"), a redirect would be created.

How to do it
First, look at the tabs at the top of the page (the ones that include "edit", "disscussion", and the like). Click the tab that says "move" if you want to move it.

You will see a page:



Below that is a box with the title "Move page". Below that is a "Move page" with the original title (in green) after that. Below that is a page that says "To new title". Edit the text in the space to make the new title. After this is done, look below but still in the box. There will be a spot that says "reason". Although it is not mandatory (to the best of my knowledge), I would recommend that you give your reason. Otherwise, a user might change the title back to what it was.

Then click the green "Move page" button in the box. You will then be told if it succeeded.
