== "Renaming"/moving an article/page ==
 +
An article/page can <em>not</em> 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 <strong>not</strong> 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>]]

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] could be replaced by [[wikipedia:Hyperlink#Wikis]]

For prefixes known by UniWiki see Interwiki data
