Help talk:Moving a page

File: namespace restrictions
Experts, give some comments about commons: User talk: Materialscientist, please. BTW I am astonished that this wiki does not contain any documentation about moving files and pages in the «File:» namespace. Incnis Mrsi (talk) 14:02, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

No „move“-tab
I don't have a move-tab. So how to rename Harzer Roller (Hörprobe).ogg to De-Harzer Roller.ogg ? Ogmios (talk) 18:42, 12 April 2014 (UTC)

German Help
Not being allowed, to create a german Help page, I put my hint in here.

Bei einer deuschen Wiki Installation darf man kein Pluszeichen(+) in der Titelzeile verwenden. Man muss "%2B" einsetzen. Das ist die erste Absurdität. Das Pluszeichen(+) stammt aus den 7-Bit-Zeiten des ASCII-Codes. Für die Funktion "Verschieben" ist es jetzt genau umgekehrt. Beispiel:

Seitenname ist: Dumpfbacke.

Wenn man diese Seite nach "Dumpbacke + Depp" verschieben will, darf man als Titel nicht "Dumpbacke %2B Depp" verwenden. Was ja logisch wäre. Aber das ergibt eine Fehlermeldung. Statt dessen muss man jetzt "Dumpbacke + Depp" eingeben. Dann klappt es. Absolut unlogisch, aber so funktioniert es.--Bernd M. 21:20, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Moving a page without creating a redirect
All users should be able to move pages under their namespace without creating redirects. This is especially useful for users developing articles inside sandboxes they own. In Greek Wikipedia we have developed a template for user sandbox that allows easy creation of sub-sandboxed articles and move to article namespace without thinking. Here is a temporary example:
 * user main sandbox,
 * list of user sub-sandboxes,
 * sandboxed article in development.

The template allows instant creation and move of sub-sandboxes, but orphan redirections are created that have to be removed by admin bots.--ManosHacker (talk) 10:09, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
