===Requesting a single page move=== {{redirect|WP:RSPM|entries on the perennial sources list that start with "M"|Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources/5}} {{shortcut|WP:RSPM}} To request a single page move, click on the "Add topic" (or "New section") tab of the '''talk page''' of the article you want moved, '''without''' adding a new subject/header, inserting this code: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" copy=1> {{subst:requested move|New name|reason=Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize searches limited to reliable sources (e.g. books, news, scholarly papers) over other web results. You don't need to add your signature at the end, as this template will do so automatically.}} </syntaxhighlight> Replace <code>New name</code> with the requested new name of the page (or with a simple question mark, if you want more than one possible new name to be considered). The template will automatically create the heading "Requested move {{CURRENTDAY}} {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTYEAR}}" and sign the post for you. There is no need to edit the article in question. Once the above code is added to the Talk page, a bot will automatically add the following notification at the top of the affected page: {{mbox | subst= <includeonly>{{subst:</includeonly><includeonly>substcheck}}</includeonly> | type = move | small = {{{small|}}} | text = A request that this {{main other|article|page}} title be changed{{#ifeq:{{{1|?}}}|?|| to ''{{no redirect|{{{1}}}}}''}} is {{#if:{{{2|}}}|[[{{{2}}}|under discussion]]|[[:{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}#{{{section|}}}|under discussion]]}}. Please <b>do not move</b> this {{main other|article|page}} until the discussion is closed. }} Unlike other request processes on Wikipedia, such as [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment|Requests for comment]], nominations need not be neutral. Make your point as best you can; use evidence (such as [http://books.google.com/ngrams/ Google Ngrams] and [[WP:PVS|pageview statistics]]) and refer to applicable policies and guidelines, especially our [[Wikipedia:Article titles|article titling policy]] and the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation|guideline on disambiguation and primary topics]]. [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]]s may subscribe to [[Wikipedia:Article alerts|Article alerts]] to receive RM notifications. For example, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Article alerts/Requested moves]] is [[Wikipedia:Transclusion|transcluded]] to [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography]]. {{U|RMCD bot}} notifies many of the other Wikiprojects listed on the talk page of the article to be moved to invite project members to participate in the RM discussion. Requesters should feel free to notify any other Wikiproject or noticeboard that might be interested in the move request, as long as this notification is [[Wikipedia:Canvassing#Appropriate notification|neutral]]. ====Single page move on a different talk page==== Occasionally, a move request must be made on a talk page other than the talk page of the page to be moved. For example, a request to rename [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources]] to [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing and templates]] would need to take place at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation]] because the talk page of the project page to be moved, [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources]], is a redirect to that centralized discussion page. In this type of case, the requested move should be made using the following code: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" copy=1> {{subst:requested move|reason=(the reason for the page move goes here).|current1=(present title of page to be renamed)|new1=(proposed title of page)}} </syntaxhighlight> The {{para|1}} unnamed parameter is not used. The {{para|current1}} and {{para|new1}} parameters are used similar to multiple page moves described below.
