== "Renaming"/moving an article/page ==

An article/page can not be renamed.

An article/page can only be moved. When doing so:

* the content of the page is "moved" to the new name

* the history of the page is moved as-well, so it stays available.

* if a talk/discussion page exists the option to move it is offered.

* the old page is automatically changed into a redirect page, admin's can move without leaving a redirect but regular editors can't

It is not a good idea to copy the text of the page into a new page because then the history is been lost. And the history staying with the old page loses its relevance.

{{Note|As the wiki is a database, I assume that the data is not really moved, there is just a new pointer to the record(s)}}

Moving a page is a multi step process:

# the actual move ("arrow" next to the search-box on top of the page)

# go back to the old page and evaluate and adapt, if needed, the links pointing to it (What links here, under tools in the left navbar)

# Check for, and change, [[Special:DoubleRedirects|Double redirects]]

# evaluate if the old page:

::* stays a redirect

::* needs to be changed into a disambiguation page {{T|Disambig}}. The original page is split into two or there is a new page about the subject E.g.

::** the original page was getting to broad and rewritten in two, or more, pages

::** or mission "Do something" exist for multiple levels and/or factions so there are now the pages "Do something (Level 1)" and "Do something (Level 2)"

::* is a candidate for {{T|Deletion}} because of spelling error in the page name or something like that

::* write new content. Maybe a broad overview of the subject with links to one or more pages with the details (including the "new" page)

== Interwiki links ==

'''Interwiki links''' are links to pages of other projects, using a prefixed internal link style.

To use interwiki links use [[ followed by the prefix, a colon and then the page name and the closing parenthesis.

So for a link to WikiPedia [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink#Wikis <nowiki>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperlink#Wikis]</nowiki>] could be replaced by [[wikipedia:Hyperlink#Wikis|<nowiki>[[wikipedia:Hyperlink#Wikis]]</nowiki>]]

For prefixes known by UniWiki see [[Special:Interwiki|Interwiki data]]

== To-Do ==

* Check [[Asset safety]]

* Monitor [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Low-Sec Campus]]

* Cleanup [[EVEMon]]

* Working on [[Special:WantedPages|Wanted Pages]] (20211112 - Just under 1,000 items)

* [[Acceleration]] find out and add which skills have influence.

* Update [[Security missions]] and [[Distribution missions]] to use the correct mission types Encounter/Courier.

* Look into the formatting of [[:Category:Maintenance templates]]

** {{T|Historical}}

** {{T|HistoricalDUST}}

** {{T|Past content}} [[Image:Tick.png|link=]] Not really a [[:Category:Maintenance templates]]

** {{T|StartOnlyinclude}} Bit of a weird one. Uses more keystrokes then the original code and does a substitute (If you know and work about this, you've been better of using the original code)???

** {{T|UMoS guideline}} Not really a [[:Category:Maintenance templates]]

* Update [[The Agency]] and [[How to find Incursions]] The Agency screenshots [[Image:Tick.png|link=]]

* [[UniWiki:To-Do List|UniWiki To-Do list]] Contains links to curator personal to do lists

* [[UniWiki:Projects|UniWiki Projects]] "Big" jobs on the wiki.

=== Recurring ===

* [[Special:BrokenRedirects|Broken redirects]]

* [[Special:DoubleRedirects|Double redirects]]

* [[Special:WantedCategories|Wanted categories]] Especially spelling/capitalization errors in category names

* [[Special:WantedTemplates|Wanted templates]] Especially spelling/capitalization errors in template names

* [[Special:WantedPages|Wanted pages]] Check for target moved/deleted, Capitalization, spelling errors, etc.

* [[Special:TrackingCategories|Tracking categories]] some of these pages show as {{Co|#BC4500|red link}} but can still contain pages with the described reason.

* [[:Category:Maintenance]] for pages that need attention. (e.g. Update, Merge, etc.)

* [[Special:SpecialPages|Other special pages]]
