සැකිල්ල:ගෙනයන ලෙස ඇයැදීම, with the assistance of RMCD bot, populates Wikipedia:Requested moves/Current discussions and Category:Requested moves.

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.

Specified new name

සංස්කරණය

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:

Requested move 23 දෙසැම්බර් 2024

Template:Requested moveTemplate:Move – "Move" was the original name of this template, and we should revert to that. Username (talk) 03:15, 23 දෙසැම්බර් 2024 (UTC)

User:RMCD bot will copy the move information to WP:RM, usually within 20 minutes.

Unspecified new name

සංස්කරණය

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:

Requested move 23 දෙසැම්බර් 2024

Template:Requested move → ? – The name should be either "move" or "rename", let's discuss which is better. Username (talk) 03:15, 23 දෙසැම්බර් 2024 (UTC)

You may also ask the template to override the default heading by supplying a value to the |heading= parameter (|header= will also work).

{{subst:Requested move |Template:Rename |reason=Rename is a more intuitive term. |heading=Rename this?}}

creates:

Rename this?

Template:Requested moveTemplate:Rename – Rename is a more intuitive term. Username (talk) 03:15, 23 දෙසැම්බර් 2024 (UTC)

If the talk page is a redirect you may, rather than overwriting the redirect, start discussion on the target. Example: to make a request to rename WP:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources to WP:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing and templates. The talk page of the project page to be moved, WT:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources, redirects to its parent talk page, WT:WikiProject Articles for creation, to centralize discussions, so the requested move is started using:

{{subst:requested move |reason=(the reason for the page move goes here). |current1=Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources |new1=Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing and templates}}

which creates:

Requested move 23 දෙසැම්බර් 2024

– (the reason for the page move goes here). Username (talk) 03:15, 23 දෙසැම්බර් 2024 (UTC)

The |1= unnamed parameter is not used; instead the |current1= and |new1= parameters are used similar to multiple page moves described below.

සංස්කරණය

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

Occasionally the discussions for significant multi-move requests may be hosted on WikiProject talk pages or other pages in Project namespace. For multi-move discussions hosted on a page which is not itself proposed to be moved, specify |current1=Current title of page 1 for the first page to move.

Adding survey and discussion subsections

සංස්කරණය

Use the code |talk=yes to append the subsections in {{Requested move/talk}}.

Suppressing the signature or the section heading

සංස්කරණය

This template automatically adds a signature to the requested move reason unless it appears to be already signed. To suppress the signature, you can use the code |sign=no. To suppress the section heading, |heading=no (|header=no will also work).
Requested moves are required to have a section heading and signature, so these parameters should rarely be used, generally only by experienced editors repairing malformed requests.

  • If neither parameter |1= nor |new1= are specified, then ? – an unspecified destination to be decided on the talk page – is assumed
  • If neither parameter |2= nor |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, or the request will be rejected.

Deprecated parameter

සංස්කරණය
  • Use of unnamed parameter |2= is not encouraged, because an unnamed parameter doesn't support a rationale containing an equals sign (often in web links, custom signatures, etc.), due to MediaWiki bug T16235.
