UDWiki:Administration/Move Requests/Archive/2011 06

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 The average user's ability to move pages has been rescinded due to frequent abuse by vandals; as such, users will need to submit requests (similar in nature to those on Speedy Deletions and Protections) for pages to be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.

Admin Page Archives

Currently we have 3 or 4 different naming conventions for admin page archives. I would like to see one convention for all pages. I don't care which naming convention is used and I don't mind moving them myself, I just want some feedback on it before I go moving all the pages. If I had a preference, I'd say we keep the naming convention of Deletion Archives, which is UDWiki:Administration/Deletions/Archive/January-2011 for example. The pages in question can be found in Template:Deletearchivenav, Template:Movearchivenav, Template:ProtectionsArchiveNavigation, Template:Speedydeletearchivenav, and Template:VBarchivenav. The De-escalations archive and Undeletion archives can be exempt since the archives are anual, not monthly. ~ _{16:31, 22 June 2011 (UTC)}

After looking at links, I think it would be best to keep the A/VB naming convention. Mainly because of Vandal Data. It would be best to leave those links alone and possibly have thegeneralbot change links on any pages linking to a/d, a/sd, a/m or a/pt cases. ~ _{20:31, 22 June 2011 (UTC)}

Personally, I like the VB naming system the best, and I agree that it makes the most sense with Vandal data links, but really, if you're going to be the one doing it all, do whatever you find easiest.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} <zespan style="color: Red">^^^ 20:36, 22 June 2011 (BST)

Shouldn't this be on A/DS? Also no, this is not the kind of job we should be doing or considering for the bot. We have a working status quo that functions fine, going forward if it's just a wording change make redirects for the new/old wording. That at least won't innundate the server with bot traffic. --Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 21:41, 22 June 2011 (BST)

On a side note: bot traffic is actually much lighter on the server than normal users. So, if such an edit does need to be made then the bot is the way to go.--The General ^{T Sys U! P! F!} 22:23, 22 June 2011 (BST)

Also, from looking at the links there's one convention that was used on everything until boxy & nubis? Nmoved A/SD to follow the A/VB system(leaving redirects). So what exactly is it you're proposing here? It seems to me like whatever it is was done ages ago.--Karek^{maps 2.0?!} 21:46, 22 June 2011 (BST)

This page is fine for discussion. If archive pages ever had identical naming conventions then it has somehow moved away from it long ago. Redirects won't do the trick since the the purpose of this is to simplify the process of archiving admin pages. Having to create a redirects for all of the archives each month will only complicate it more. In case it isn't clear exactly what I'm referring to, its the fact that A/VB archives use mm_yyyy while A/D archives use month abbrv yyyy. Other admin archives use others. Hope that clears up whyI'm suggesting this. ~ _{22:35, 22 June 2011 (UTC)}
