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 The average user's ability to move pages has been rescinded due to frequent abuse by vandals; as such, users will need to submit requests (similar in nature to those on Speedy Deletions and Protections) for pages to be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

Move Request Queue
UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/Vapor
- 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.

- Delete. ~

- If you want to foolishly leave it up to me, I say move it to UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/Vapor_(0). At least then it looks like some kind weird fuckin emoticon or something. ~ 06:09, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
- Can mine be expressed as vulgar fractions? It seems fitting. 06:11, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
- Shh. Don't give away all the good ideas. I'm about to approach you in private about a custom promotion title racket if this thing actually passes. We'll make a killing. ~ 06:17, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
- I dunno, man. I think Sofie Gråbøl already made a couple of those. 06:26, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

A fun history lesson: There never used to be A/PM/Archive/User:XXXX (1) pages. It was User:XXXX for their first promotion, and User:XXXX (2) for their second, and so on. Then sometime in maybe 2010 Boxy just decided to change them all, rearrange the system and make User:XXXX portals to all their promotion bids. No one really made a fuss. I like boxy but I always thought it was a bit of a dumb idea and the other system is just simpler to manage. A ZOMBIE ANT 05:44, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
- I'm surprised box hasn't split a seam over the nav templates, then. Oh dear, oh my. Don't look down. ~ 06:09, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
- Not a lot outside of me can get him to split a seam. Particularly these days and I really have to work at it now. --Karekmaps 2.0?! 07:26, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

- Bob Moncrief EBD•W! 15:31, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
- Done. Also, it's time to cycle the admin archives. Unfortunately I don't have time for that tonight. -- Spiderzed█ 18:53, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
