UDWiki:Administration/Move Requests

Template:A/MRsub

Shortcut:
A/MR

This page is for the requesting of page moves by normal users. The average user's ability to move pages has been rescinded due to frequent abuse by vandals; as such, users will need to submit requests (similar in nature to those on Speedy Deletions and Protections) for pages to be moved by a sysop.

Guidelines for requesting a Page Move

Copy the template below (Or just type it), replace the text in red with the relevant details, and paste the template under the Move Request Queue heading. A day after a sysop has taken action on the request, move requests should be moved to the Archive.

• To UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/Vapor_(1)
• Also, create the appropriate archive at the moved-from page.

Whoever came up with the idea of creating unlinked pages as a part of an archival system needs to be shot. Unfortunately, redoing the A/PM archives in the style of the A/M archives and A/RE archives makes no sense since there are so many more users in it than there are in the other two. If anything, I'm more inclined to simply delete all of those sorts of archive pages and then move the "(1)" entries into their places, since that's in keeping with the wiki software's own behavior (e.g. it doesn't add numbers until after the first one if you have multiple headings with the same name), as well as what is standard practice with the other wiki archives we have. Thoughts? I suspect boxy may disagree. ;) —Aichon— 20:50, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

I like the consistency of having each one have a number if there are more than one, although that does mean moving everyone's first candidacy to a _(1) once they've got a _(2). (We could just start everyone off with Username_(1), although that would be a bunch of move work now to save some later.) I don't see the reason for maintaining the list of all of a user's candidacies at their base page, though, since they're all listed (and ctrl+F'able) in the templates at Category:Promotions Candidacies, and no one has more than 5 total candidacies, which are listed in the alphabetical list at the bottom of that page anyway.

Does anyone else have comments on this? Bob Moncrief ^EBD•W! 00:20, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

I concur with Ross on this. Whether to add a (1) or not isn't really a matter. -- Spiderzed█ 00:26, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

1. Delete. ~ _{00:51, 8 January 2013 (UTC)}
