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

Regular editors can not rename a page. Maybe admins can (not sure about that).

Editors can only move a page. When doing so:

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

* the old page is automatically changed into a redirect page, again admin's can move without 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

Moving a page is a multi step process:

# The actual move ("arrow" next to the search-box)

# go back to the old page and evaluate and adapt 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

* need 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 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)"

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