Using the form below will rename a page, moving all of its history to the new name. The old title will become a redirect page to the new title. Links to the old page title will not be changed; be sure to check for double or broken redirects. You are responsible for making sure that links continue to point where they are supposed to go.

Note that the page will not be moved if there is already a page at the new title, unless it is empty or a redirect and has no past edit history. This means that you can rename a page back to where it was just renamed from if you make a mistake, and you cannot overwrite an existing page.


Note: Before moving pages, check the Whatlinkshere of the page. If any redirect pages link to it, the page move will cause them to become double redirects! This is very annoying to clean up later. It is your responsibility as the page mover to fix these. Failure to do so could result in some plague or famine or such.

Also note: If Uncyclopedia does not need the redirect that will be automatically created when moving this page, please place it on the QVFD so it can be deleted. Also note that if you move a talk page, you should list the talk page redirect on QVFD in most cases (there is little reason to have one talk page redirecting to another).

Also also note: Moving a page can be a drastic and unexpected change for a popular page; please be sure you understand the consequences of this before proceeding. Moving a page to a silly name is not in the spirit of Uncyclopedia, as humor isn't funny if you can't find it. We prefer to have accurate titles for most pages. Thanks.
