Template talk:Move

Merge with {{rename}} and {{move cat}}

As Evrik suggested, why dont't we merge {{move}} (files), {{rename}} (media), or even {{move cat}} (categories) --W!B: (talk) 20:22, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

This looks not the right place to discuss this. --Foroa (talk) 08:40, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

• It's a pretty broad change. I think we need to open this up. Evrik (talk) 16:43, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Please do, I never remember to correct name of this template. Using #switch with the namespace should allow to switch between the contents for each namespace. -- 08:18, 16 June 2009 User:Docu

• This seems to have stalled. Evrik (talk) 14:41, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
  • I can't really think of a reason not to merge them. -- User:Docu
    • They do serve other functions. I'm wondering if they should just be left as is. Evrik (talk) 17:38, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
      • BTW currently, {{move}} is for categories and {{rename}} for files/images/media. Not quite sure how {{move cat}} works.
        Personally, I would merge mainly the first two. Even if merged, the content of the template can vary based on namespace. BTW I added a warning to {{rename}} when used in category namespace. -- User:Docu

Remove carets

Why not remove the carets from the example, rather than telling editors in a note to remove them? --Jonund (talk) 15:39, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Please feel free to "prettify" the layout. -- User:Docu at 15:44, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Difficult

This template is difficult. I havent figure out how to fill where to move. Could it by easier? E.g. |to=category:dogs|reson=it is about dogs|date=today.--Juan de Vojníkov (talk) 07:35, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

External links don't work

If one external link is used in "reason" field of this template, the template doesn't work and the reason field appears to be blank. It's a serious deficiency, external sources give often relevant arguments to rename category. --ŠJů (talk) 15:03, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Bugs

1) If the date parameter is named "date", the template represents it as valid but categorises it as "date undefined", see an example. --ŠJů (talk) 16:05, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

2) Template {{merge from}} categororizes into Category:Requested moves (date undefined) but the date cannot be defined and the category is not placed into Category:Requested moves (all). See here [1]--ŠJů (talk) 16:05, 18 January 2011 (UTC)

Phrasing of template

I'm little concerned that the current phrasing of the template may be non-neutral - it appears to presume that the page will be moved. It currently states "Upon reaching a clear consensus at [talk page] (or after two weeks if there are no objections), please remove this notice, replacing it with a category redirect or request further assistance at Category talk:Requested moves (if necessary)."

It would work better if that sentence is split in two. Something along the lines of: "Upon reaching a clear consensus (or after two weeks), please remove this notice. If consensus is to move, replace it with a category redirect or request further assistance". This phrasing is both clearer and doesn't assume it will end up being moved.--Nilfanion (talk) 21:05, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

edit by

I will revert this edit. If the template is misplaced it should redirect to rename where the files and pages are put in categories and the misplacement can be fixed. --Cwbm (commons) (talk) 20:44, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Grammar mistake in German

The sentence "Begründung: Begründung fehlt. Bitte gebe eine Erklärung für die Verschiebung an,..." is wrong. Please replace "gebe" (subjunctive) with "gib" (imperative). --Eweht (talk) 23:02, 26 April 2013 (UTC)

Done. Since the page is not protected you could have done it yourself, too. --Leyo 08:51, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
