Help:Moving a page

From Appropedia

The following instructions work for any page other than categories. For categories, see Appropedia:Moving category pages.

When we want to change the name of a page, we move it. (If there is already a page at the new name, it won't work. Consider a merge instead.) Click the move tab at the top (second from the right) and enter the new name. It may help other editors if you enter a brief reason for the move, unless it's very obvious.

A redirect will automatically be created from the old to the new page. Check "what links here" on the new page, to see if there are any double redirects. If so, that means there are redirects which point to another redirect; they should be changed to point straight to the new pagename. Leave the redirect in place indefinitely, so that people who use an uncorrected link or type the old name in the search box will go to the right place.
