Biocrawler:Requested moves

From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

Requested moves is used to request, and vote on, article moves that are not straight-forward or that require the assistance of Biocrawler administrators. For example, the proposed move may be controversial, or technical expertise may be needed to merge edit histories. The move should usually be discussed on the talk pages of any relevant articles first, particularly where a page move may be controversial. For simple uncontroversial moves follow the advice at Help:Renaming (moving) a page instead.

Approval voting is encouraged for page moves requested on this page. Requested moves may be actioned if there is a rough consensus (60% or more) supporting the moving of an article after five (5) days under discussion on the talk page of the article to be moved, or earlier at the discretion of an administrator. The time for discussion may be extended if a consensus has not emerged.

  • If you want to merge two articles please make a request at Biocrawler:Duplicate articles instead of here.
  • This is not the proper place to request the "moving" of images or categories. See below for more information.

What to do on the talk page

  • Add a note to the talk page of the article you wish to move (not the article itself) using the {{move}} template. This template should be inserted at the top of the page using the following text:
{{move|new name}}
replacing the words "new name" with the name of the destination page to where you wish to move the article.
If there is more than one possible name you may wish to use {{moveoptions}} instead. For this add the following text:
{{moveoptions}}
  • To make it easy for the administrator to see if there is a consensus for a move, if a section discussing the move does not already exist on the talk page of the article to be moved, then please add a section. See the section below in Additional notes for an example.
[edit]

What to do on this Requested moves page

To aid the administrators, add a line with the day's date on it directly under the heading of the Notices subsection, if it has not already been added for this day.

===[[date]] [[year]]===

Requests added to "Requested move" a page should have the following format:

For a single page move to a new name, add a line at the top of the section under the date line:

* [[Talk:page to be moved]] – [[page to be moved]] → [[new name]] – {reason for move} — ~~~~<tt>

For more complicated requests see the section lower down this page on #Multiple page moves. See also, the section lower down this page on #Relevant policies and guidelines.

  • Talk:Putrifaction – Putrifaction → Putrefaction – Page was moved from original, correct spelling to now incorrect spelling. "Putrid" has an "i" in its second syllable, but "putrefy" and "putrefaction" do not. – Autodidact 07:30, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski → Stefan Wyszynski. His name was not "Cardinal" it was a title. Needs to be moved over redirect. Radomil talk 12:19, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Buff (EverQuest terminology) - Buff (MMORPG terminology) The term Buff applies to multiple MMORPGs, and is not unique to EverQuest. Changing the name to reflect this would allow it to be linked to in a more versatile manner by numerous games, rather than just by one single MMORPG.--Wahooker 19:45, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Attempt to move page John F. Kennedy assassination to Assassination of John F. Kennedy. Page cannot be moved because latter page exists. -- SNIyer1, 21:22, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Latin to Latin language The previous vote was not formally closed and no formal statement of consensus was made. Vote is currently 11 oppose, 6 support (including my support added only yesterday). The single sixth vote changes things from 65% oppose to 55% oppose. The vote was not well-publicized, and the vote section is sandwiched between two equally long sections filled with other discussions. Recommend either starting a new vote process, or setting a timeframe for closing the current vote. In either case, voting section should be moved to the bottom of the page and segregated. A tag should be placed on the mainpage notifying interested parties of the vote. --Jpbrenna 21:14, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • This has been discussed numerous times, and while I support the idea, I have to say, there is very little support for the move, and those few POV-pushers who feel the article should be moved should spend their efforts on more worthwhile pursuits. Very persuasive arguments have long since been made as for why this article should not be moved, all of which are readily accessible by perusing the various archives of Talk:Latin, to say nothing of the talk page as it presently appears. This requested move amounts to little more than poorly-researched POV-pushing and should be quashed as such. Tomer TALK
There was no tag or any other indication that the vote was closed. The archive, like the main talk section, is a confused jumble. I honestly thought that the vote was inconclusive and that at notice should be placed here to restart the voting and reach a consensus. Tomer and another user report that the vote was closed in Dec. 2004. I have since added {{notmoved}} to the top and bottom of the vote section of Talk:Latin so that no other users will make this mistake.

  • Talk:Hussein Hanoun Al-Saadi – Hussein Hanoun Al-Saadi → Hussein Hanoun al-Saadi – It seems the latter is the correct spelling, there is actually no dispute (yet) about this move, but I am not able to move this one, the latter page is a redirect with more than one edit, so it seems moving the page cannot be done as simply as I hoped. Thanks for your help (if there is a simple way to move/rename it, please let me know so that I can use this trick latter). Cheers. — Edcolins 07:42, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)

Discussion extended

Discussion on the following move requests have been extended to allow a consensus to emerge. Please visit them to give your opinion.

Ongoing discussions
[edit]

Procedure for admins

It is important to check to see if the redirect has major history; major history contains information about the addition of current text. (This is sometimes caused by the accidental creation of a duplicate article, or someone doing a cut-and-paste "move", instead of using the "Move this page" button.) Never simply delete such redirect pages, (which we need to keep for copyright reasons).

[edit]

Major history

There are three ways to deal with a page move with a major history:

  1. The "right" way is to merge the histories, using the procedure outlined at Biocrawler:How to fix cut and paste moves. This is a slightly fraught procedure, which on rare occasions doesn't work correctly. There are also circumstances (e.g. duplicate pages) where it's not the correct choice anyway. Once done, it cannot easily be undone, so don't pick this option unless it's definitely the right one.
  2. Alternatively, the article and the redirect can be swapped. This leaves the bifurcated history, but has less chance of causing problems. Simply move one of the pair to a temporary name, and then delete the new redirect which that move will left behind at the original location; next, move the other page of the pair across to the first one's old location, and delete that left-over new redirect; finally, move the first one from its temporary location to its new name. You will then need to delete the new redirect at the temporary location, and finally fix the old redirect to point at the article again (at this point, it will be pointing to itself).
  3. Another option is for redirect pages with major history to be archived into a talk namespace, and a link to them put into the article's talk page. (An example of such a page is a Talk:Network SouthEast, which was originally created as a duplicate article at Network SouthEast and later archived, when the original article was moved from Network South East.)
[edit]

Minor history

A minor history on the other hand contains no information, e.g. the redirect page Eric Tracy (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Eric_Tracy&redirect=no) has a minor history (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Eric_Tracy&action=history) but Eric Treacy (which incidentally is the correct spelling) could not be moved there because of a spelling mistake in the original page. Redirect pages with minor histories can simply be deleted.

[edit]

Tidying up

Whichever of these various options you take, moving pages will create double redirects in any redirects that pointed to the original page location. These must be fixed; click on the "What links here" button of the new page location to check for them. It is the responsibility of the admin doing the move to fix these, though periodically a bot will fix any you miss.

When you remove an entry from this page (whether the move was accepted ot rejected), don't forget to remove the {{move}} tag from the talk page and if a discussion on the move exists on the talk page please add and sign a comment to indicate whether the move was accepted or rejected.

It's worth periodically checking either Category:Requested_moves or here (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Whatlinkshere&target=Template:Move) to see if any pages missed this step. Checking either of these regularly has the side-benefit of finding pages where people added the {{Move}} tag to the page, but didn't realize they needed to edit WP:RM as well.

Admins volunteering to do tidying tasks should watch this page (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Biocrawler:Requested_moves&action=watch) for new notices.

[edit]

Pending history mergers

If the required merge of a copy/paste move cannot be done right away, then move the history to /history and use {{pending merge}}. For example, Bicycle Thieves was moved to Bicycle Thieves/history and {{pending merge|Bicycle Thieves}} placed on the article.

This also adds Category:Pending merge, all of which will be done later.

Additional notes

[edit]

A guide for a Requested move section on a talk page

To make it easy for the administrator to see if there is a consensus for a move, if a section discussing the move does not already exist on the talk page of the article to be moved, then please add the following or something similar to the bottom of the page (you can copy and paste this template over): 

==Requested move==
*  the reasons for move copied from [[WP:RM]] 
::''Add *'''Support''' or *'''Oppose''' followed by an optional one sentence explanation and sign your vote with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>''    
===Discussion===
::''Add any additional comments''

If a section called "Requested move" already exists on the talk page then expand the title to: 

==Requested move to [[NEW NAME]]== <!-- insert new page name! -->
