*Please do not simply '''blank''' a page when - in fact - you want to rename it.
*Please do not '''copy''' a page when - in fact - you want to rename it.
 
*Please do not mark a page for '''deletion''' (with {{fn|delenda}}) when you could also use <tt><nowiki>#REDIRECT [[target page]]</nowiki></tt>. See [[Vicipaedia:Redirectio]].
If you are asking, [[#Why not rename or move a page by simple copy/paste?|Why not rename or move a page by simple copy/paste?]], see the [[#Why not rename or move a page by simple copy/paste?|explanation]] below.
 
== How to move a page ==
 
If you want to rename a page "A" to "B", you can "move" the page:
Line 16 ⟶ 19:
# It creates a new page at "A" with just the content "<nowiki>#REDIRECT [[B]]</nowiki>"
# If there exists a talk page of "A" it moves the content to the talk page of "B" and leaves a redirect on the talk page of "A".
 
A moved page can be moved again, so moving is – technically – not a dangerous action. However, if you think the community will not like the new title, it is a good idea to ask before moving the page. A good place to do so is the talk page of page "A". If you think the move is ok … just do it.
 
== Why not rename or move a page by simple copy/paste? ==
 
It is usually not a good idea to do this manually (to create a new page "B" and to copy the content from "A" to "B"): That way, the page history (the previous edits and their respective authors) remains at "A", and people looking at "B" will not see the names of the authors that contributed to the content. Your move would most probably constitute a violation of the GFDL, which requires attribution to authors.
 
== What if the target page already has content? ==
A moved page can be moved again, so moving is – technically – not a dangerous action. However, if you think the community will not like the new title, it is a good idea to ask before moving the page. If you think the move is ok … just do it.
 
If the page "B" already exists (and is not just a redirect with only one single revision in its revision history), moving a page to "B" is not possible before page "B" is itself moved or deleted. If you feel that the current contents of "B" should be deleted and if you are not an administrator yourself, you will need to ask an administrator to delete "B". In order to do so, place {{fnp|movenda|B}} on page "A" and explain your reasons on the talk page of page "A".
 
In this case as well, do not just move the page contents by simple copy/paste. See the [[#Why not rename or move a page by simple copy/paste?|reasons]] given above.
 
==Needed rights for moving a page==
Any logged-in user can move pages, this needs no administration rights.
