For checking CSS:

"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.
  • if a talk/discussion page exists the option to move it is offered.
  • 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:

  1. The actual move ("arrow" next to the search-box on top of the page)
  2. 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)
  3. Check for, and change, Double redirects
  4. evaluate if the old page:
  • stays a redirect
  • needs to be changed into a disambiguation page {{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 {{Deletion}} because of spelling error or something like that
  • 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)

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
