UDWiki:Administration/Move Requests/Archive/2011 05
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 The average user's ability to move pages has been rescinded due to frequent abuse by vandals; as such, users will need to submit requests (similar in nature to those on Speedy Deletions and Protections) for pages to be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.

New Requests
Talk:Suggestions
| Requester: | Midianian|T|T:S|C:RCS| 08:32, 14 October 2008 (BST) |
| Reason: | I think this is long overdue. Talk:Suggestions is so big and complicated that it needs to be a proper, separate page. It needs a real talk page, not some corner of a talk page of a category page nobody ever visits. |
| Destination: | Developing Suggestions |
- Well, it wasn't deleted when it was put up on there. I don't see it getting moved either. I'm not sure I see the point in having a talk page for a talk page.--– Nubis NWO 14:43, 14 October 2008 (BST)
- The point?
From Talk:Suggestions#Discussion (Suggestion A/S/L):
Interesting, but I think this belongs in Category Talk:Suggestions, not here. Linkthewindow Talk 11:49, 13 October 2008 (BST)
- There are things that occasionally need to be discussed about Talk:Suggestions, like format, how long the suggestions stay on the page, what kind of suggestions are allowed etc. Like I said, the page is complex and big enough to warrant its own page, with a dedicated talk page. Normal talk pages are much easier to follow because they're automatically included in the watchlist if the main page is. Then there's the natural way of just clicking the "discussion" tab when you want to, you know, discuss things about the page. Where should you discuss things about a discussion page? It's very unclear and confusing, especially to newbies. I'm pretty sure Talk:Developing Suggestions would get more traffic than Category_talk:Suggestions#Discussion_About_Talk:Suggestions, which would mean that you wouldn't have to post things on Talk:Suggestions that do not belong there. --Midianian|T|T:S|C:RCS| 15:24, 14 October 2008 (BST)
- I think this is a good idea. The Suggestions pages are confusing enough without having a talk page be used in such a manner. --PdeqTalk* 23:06, 14 October 2008 (BST)
It's probably a good idea, but such a major move should be discussed within the community before bringing it here. Ironically that would be on Category Talk:Suggestions -- boxy talk • teh rulz 13:09 16 October 2008 (BST)
- Which is why I brought it here. I didn't think it would get moved right away and it most likely gets more discussion here than there. though this page doesn't really get much traffic either... --Midianian|T|T:S|C:RCS| 13:23, 16 October 2008 (BST)
- I agree. Ironically (compared to my above statement) if this notion gets enough support here, it should probably be posted on Talk:Suggestions, so the mob there can decide. Linkthewindow Talk 11:54, 17 October 2008 (BST)
Anyone who is actually involved with the suggestions system has Category Talk Suggestions watched, the only people who aren't are arrogant trenchies who want to post their latest railgun suggestion. --

- Even if that were true (which I don't think it is), it's still big and complex enough to deserve its own page & talk page. This makes it at least a little easier to find the first time and it's easier to reach on the following times (just click the "discussion" tab like everywhere else). Category_talk:Suggestions is a mess with discussion for Talk:Suggestions and the category page, discussion of the suggestions system in general, and discussing and voting on suggestion policies on it. This makes it a little cleaner. Yeah, sure, they're not very big advantages but if there aren't any downsides to the move (and none have been mentioned yet), why not move it? --Midianian|T|T:S|C:RCS| 13:22, 17 October 2008 (BST)
I've read through the arguments above and I'll carry out the request. I'll also make sure that all the links into Talk:Suggestions (itself becoming a redirect) are changed accordingly. -- Cheese 19:55, 20 October 2008 (BST)

Template talk:ExtremeRepair
| Requester: | WanYao 11:26, 2 October 2008 (BST) |
| Reason: | I'm not sure how Moves work... but the reason I'm asking for a move, instead of a simple cut 'n' paste edit is because I'd like preserve the orginal page's edit history. If Moving the page allows this, please make it so; if it doesn't, I'll do it the old fashioned way. (And if the new blank "Gallery" subpage needs to be speedydeleted and re-created to transfer the edit history, do so, you don't need my seperate permission.) Thanks. |
| Destination: | Template:ExtremeRepair/Gallery |
Yeah, page moves preserve the edit history, but do you want it moved to a template sub-page (which means it's a template itself), or to the talk page sub-page, so it's just a record of images? -- boxy talk • i 12:33 2 October 2008 (BST)
- Yeah, make it a subpage of the Talk Page, please (call it "Gallery"). That's the least problematic solution. I thought of just giving it its own own page, but it's both a "gallery" and a "reporting thread" for users of the template -- so it's best it be connected to the template, I think. Thanks. --WanYao 12:58, 2 October 2008 (BST)
- Gah, and I need to speedy the page I created, sigh. --WanYao 12:59, 2 October 2008 (BST)
