API:Move

Token
To move a page, a move token is required. This token is equal to the edit token and the same for all pages, but changes at every login. A move token can be obtained as follows:

Moving pages
Pages can be moved with action=move.

Parameters

 * from: The title of the page you want to move
 * to: The new title you want to move the page to
 * token: The token obtained in the previous request. Take care to urlencode the '+' as '%2B'.
 * reason: The reason for the move (optional)
 * movetalk: Move the talk page, if possible
 * noredirect: Don't create a redirect from the old title to the new one

Example
Note: In this example, all parameters are passed in a GET request just for the sake of simplicity. However, action=edit requires POST requests; GET requests will cause an error.
