Page name change requests
List your requests for changes of page names here (a librarian or admin usually will do the renaming within a day).
Archaic: Remove the page "The Positional Game" if it's still there, if not then ignore this message.
- PeterHB: I can't find the page "The Positional Game", so I assume it has been deleted for you. I can see a different page Archaic/PositionalGame, but I am judging that is a different page you want to keep.
luigi87: The page Luis Bolanos Mures should be called Luis Bolaņos Mures, with an "ņ". Is it possible to change it?
- PeterHB: Sorry luigi87, but the answer appears to be no. I have rename rights, and I've tried to rename Luis Bolanos Mures to Luis Bolaņos Mures, but the software complains about an illegal character and refuses to do it. I don't know the underlying reasoning, but I guess that error check has been put in for some good reason to protect the system from unexpected data making programs fail in some way.
- unkx80: Page names are ASCII only. That is, A-Z, a-z, 0-9, space, some punctuations, and some special characters.
Anyone can set his own level to experienced deshi in the user preferences and then add spaces, hyphens, commas or any punctuation mark which is accepted by the engine (i.e. rename "LibertyTacticalSense" to "Liberty (tactical sense)".
Changes which affect the JoinCapitalizedWords spelling, however, can only be done by librarians, an access level given by the admins.
Page name changes can be subject to discussion. Preferably have these discussions at their talk or discussion page.
The following changes are also considered page renamings, and hence can be done by librarians:
- Turning a normal page into a subpage, e.g. from Foo to Bar / Baz.
- Turning a subpage into a normal page, e.g. from Bar / Baz to Foo.
- Renaming a subpage of a page, e.g. from Foo / Bar to Foo / Baz.
- Turning a subpage of a page into a subpage of another page, e.g. from Foo / Bar to Alpha / Beta.
