Template:Move
Goal
This template can be placed at the top of an article that is considered to be moved to another title.
Pages marked with this template will automatically be added to the category Articles to be moved. Categorisation can be suppressed with the nocat parameter.
Moving can be done if an article may be found easier if having another title. Moving an article is done using the "Move" tab.
Note: Any user can move an article. If it is obvious that an article should be moved, just be bold and move it.
Note: For sections that are off topic and long enough use {{splitapart}}.
Usage
The template is placed at the top of the article.
{{move|new title|discussion page |date=April 2024 |nocat=}}
- new title
- Suggested new article title.
- discussion page
- Optional name of a discussion page with a section about the move.
- date
- Optional date the move was proposed in m YYYY format, for example April 2024.
- nocat
- Optionally suppresses automatic categorisation if true. Useful in examples.
If there is a need for a motivation or a discussion about the move, do so on the discussion page to the page to be move from, preferably as a new section named something like Move to <other title> and link to the talk page and preferably also to that section with the second parameter.
