Help:Renaming Pages

Introduction
Renaming or moving a page is the process of changing the title (and url) of a page using the MediaWiki functionality, rather than manually copy-pasting its content. It may be done for different reasons:


 * The page is not properly named.
 * The page is involved in a name conflict.

Renaming a page is a user right reserved for trusted users, because of the destructive consequences it can have when not done properly. To request a new name, add the rename template at the top of the page. You can add additional explanation on the corresponding talk page. If there is a consensus about whether and how the page should be renamed, a trusted user can do the job.
