Help:Moving a page
Who can move pages?
On LabVIEW Wiki, anyone with a user account can move pages. If you don't have a user account, create one now. If you have a user account, login to start moving pages.
When to move pages?
You should only move pages if the title of a page doesn't comply with the page naming conventions. For example:
- Spelling error in the title
- Wrong capitalization (see LabVIEW Wiki:Manual of Style)
- Wrong article namespace
- Unnecessary use of abbreviations
- ...
Do not move pages to satify your own conventions. LabVIEW Wiki is a collaborative platform, so conventions should be discussed before being enforced without consent by the community.
How to move pages?
- Go to the page you want to move.
- Select Options > Move. A page move dialog will appear.
- Insert the title of the new page.
- Insert a brief explanation why the move is necessary under "Reason".
- Press Move page to complete the process.
Note, that the old page still exists and automatically redirects to the new page. After moving a page, make sure to update any existing links in the wiki to the new page:
- Go to the old page.
- Under the Tools section on the left, select What links here. This will open a list of pages that include links to the current page.
- Open each page in the list
- Open the page editor
- Find all links to the old page and replace them by links to the new page
- Save your changes (make sure to include a brief summary)
- Make sure that there are no remaining pages that link to the old page
The old page must not be deleted!
