UDWiki talk:Administration/Move Requests
From The Urban Dead Wiki
What goes on with this page? Looks like it'd be quicker to just move things ourselves, leaving a redirect on the old page. Didn't we used to be able to move pages ourselves? -- boxy T L PA DA 10:17, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move Request Template
Would it make since to have move requests have a template much like the speedy delete template so that pages aren't marked for movement more than one, because there are several pages that I have almost re-requested a move for as well. I've made simple template that could be used for this here: Template:Moverequest, let me know what you think. Vantar 23:22, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
- I have noticed that this template has one small flaw in it, it must be manually removed after the move is made. Does anyone know away around this? If this issue can be overcome I feel that this template has some potential. Vantar 07:43, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- Yes, that is a problem... however what do others think about using that template to make requests without having to edit another page? We could make a Category:Move requests, and include it in the template. Then when someone finds a page they want moved, they can simply add the template, including the destination of the move. The page would show up in Category:Move Requests automatically. All a mod would have to do is open the page, and see the info on where it has to be moved to, on the page and click move page. Perhaps the template would need another section to record the reason for the move request, but it would cut down on editing and archiving for a simple function like move requests. The info about the move would all be in the actual page history, rather than somewhere else (A/MR) -- boxy T L ZS Nuts2U DA 01:31, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
- I like the idea of getting rid of the move request page and replacing it with a Category, I've made some changes to Template:Moverequest so it does what you mentioned anything else you would want in the template. Vantar 11:24, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
- That looks good for the purpose. Still not convinced that it's the way to go (despite suggesting it), would like more feedback. Others may see problems I don't. If I don't get feedback here, I'll put up a policy discussion, I guess, and sound it out that way -- boxy T L ZS Nuts2U DA 11:45, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Well..
My archive for old talk was moved, and the thing is I just figured out that fact by pure luck, and found the new location by the long (becouse i had no idea of it) proccess of finding this page. Ok, I'm new and didnt know how to mane the page properly, and is totally correct to move it to a page with the proper name, but shouldnt the person that moved it or the person who asked to be moved leave some coment on my talk page? I understand that it would make it a longer proccess for the mod but maybe a template with a link to this page or someting. I mean, if i hadn't noticed the broken link in my nav bar....--♠ Che ♠-T GC X 08:55, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Move Request Archive
Like the Speedy Deletions page, the Move Requests page should have an archive, as it is beginning to get too long. Perhaps something like what SD has? --V2Blast T•P!•C•SR 23:16, 19 August 2007 (BST)
- Um this page does have an archive UDWiki:Moderation/Move Requests/Archive, every month the Recent Actions section is suppose to be moved to it it just does allways happen. I'll move the stuff that should have been archived already. - Vantar 14:20, 20 August 2007 (BST)
[edit] move question
Can sysops move categories? *looking innocently* --~~~~ [talk] 09:38, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
- No, it has to be done manually by visiting all the pages, real hassle but I doubt it could be done any other way because of how Categories are sorted anyway(with the tag being content on the page included, not the Category page). But yeah, can't move Categories.--Karekmaps?! 11:39, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
