Editing Template:Requested move/doc (section)

==Usage==
===Specified new name===
Use this template to tag articles with a [[Wikipedia:Requested moves#Requesting controversial and potentially controversial moves|controversial or potentially controversial move request]]. For uncontroversial/technical requests, use {{tls|RMassist}}.

This template should be substituted into the talk page of the article to be moved. It is not placed in the article itself.

Please note that unlike {{tl|Article for deletion}}, the discussion for a page move must take place on the [[Help:talk page|talk page]], '''not''' on [[Wikipedia:Requested moves]].

Add this template at the bottom of the talk page of the page that you want to be moved. It should be formatted like this:

<pre style="border:2px inset #222222;padding:4px;margin:1em;background-color:white;width:60%;white-space:pre-wrap;">
{{subst:Requested move |NewName |reason=Why&nbsp;...}}
</pre>

Where:
*{{mono|{{var|NewName}}}} = your proposed new name for the page, i.e., the name which the page should be renamed or moved to
*{{mono|{{var|Why&nbsp;...}}}} = your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate
**Please do not include templates that expand to tables, such as nav templates or {{tl|Not a ballot}}, and also avoid collapse templates such as {{tl|collapse}} and {{tl|hidden}}. Templates like {{tl|Not a ballot}} can go in the line above the requested move banner.
**If such extra information is required in the nomination, please post it afterwards as a comment. 
This will create a template (see [[Template:Requested move/dated]]) in a new section on the talk page, and links to the old page and new page. For example:

<pre style="border:2px inset #222222;padding:4px;margin:1em;background-color:white;width:60%;white-space:pre-wrap;">
{{subst:Requested move |Template:Move |reason="Move" was the original name of this template, and we should revert to that.}}
</pre>

will create:

<div style="border:2px inset #222222;padding:4px;">
{{fake heading|Requested move {{#time: j F Y | {{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} }}}}
{{Requested move/dated/mirror|Template:Move}}

[[Template:Requested move]] → {{no redirect|Template:Move}} – "Move" was the original name of this template, and we should revert to that. Username (talk) {{CURRENTTIME}}, {{#time: j F Y | {{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} }} (UTC)
</div>

[[User:RMCD bot]] will copy the move information to [[Wikipedia:Requested moves|WP:RM]], usually within 20 minutes.

===Unspecified new name===
If you're unsure about what the best new name is, use a question mark for the new name.

<pre style="border:2px inset #222222;padding:4px;margin:1em;background-color:white;width:60%;white-space:pre-wrap;">
{{subst:Requested move |? |reason=The name should be either "move" or "rename", let's discuss which is better.}}
</pre>

creates:

<div style="border:2px inset #222222;padding:4px;">
{{fake heading|Requested move {{#time: j F Y | {{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} }}}}
{{Requested move/dated/mirror|?}}

[[Template:Requested move]] → ? – The name should be either "move" or "rename", let's discuss which is better. Username (talk) {{CURRENTTIME}}, {{#time: j F Y | {{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} }} (UTC)
</div>

===Custom heading===
You may also ask the template to override the default heading by supplying a value to the {{para|heading}} parameter ({{para|header}} will also work).

<pre style="border:2px inset #222222;padding:4px;margin:1em;background-color:white;width:60%;white-space:pre-wrap;">
{{subst:Requested move |Template:Rename |reason=Rename is a more intuitive term. |heading=Rename this?}}
</pre>

creates:

<div style="border:2px inset #222222;padding:4px;">
{{fake heading|Rename this?}}

{{requested move/dated/mirror|Template:Rename}}

[[:Template:Requested move]] → {{no redirect|Template:Rename}} – Rename is a more intuitive term. Username (talk) {{CURRENTTIME}}, {{#time: j F Y | {{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} }} (UTC)
</div>

===Shared talk pages===
If the talk page is a redirect, you may start the discussion on the target's talk page.

In the following example, the talk page of the page to be moved, [[WT:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources]], redirects to its parent talk page, [[WT:WikiProject Articles for creation]]. The below code would be placed on the latter to centralize discussion:
<pre style="border:2px inset #222222;padding:4px;margin:1em;background-color:white;width:60%;white-space:pre-wrap;">
{{subst:requested move |reason=(the reason for the page move goes here). |current1=Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources |new1=Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing and templates}}
</pre>

Instead of the {{para|1}} unnamed parameter, the {{para|current1}} and {{para|new1}} parameters are used. The method is similar to the one under [[#Multiple related move requests]]. This creates:

<div style="border:2px inset #222222;padding:4px;">

{{fake heading|Requested move {{#time: j F Y | {{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} }}}}

{{Requested move/dated/mirror|multiple=yes|current1=Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources|new1=Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing and templates}}

* [[:Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources]] → {{no redirect|Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing and templates}}
– (the reason for the page move goes here). Username (talk) {{CURRENTTIME}}, {{#time: j F Y | {{CURRENTTIMESTAMP}} }} (UTC)
</div>

===Multiple related move requests===
Related moves should be combined into a single request. This is particularly applicable when changing a [[WP:primary topic|primary topic]], which generally requires moving at least a disambiguation page and another related page. Additional proposed moves should be formatted like this:

<pre style="border:2px inset #222222;padding:4px;margin:1em;background-color:white;width:60%;white-space:pre-wrap;">
{{subst:Requested move
|NewName |reason=Why ...
|current2=Current title of page 2
|new2=New title for page 2
|current3=Current title of page 3
|new3=New title for page 3
...
|currentN = Current title of page N
|newN = New title for page N
}}
</pre>

Where:
*{{mono|{{var|NewName}}}} = your proposed new name for page 1, i.e., the page whose talk page is being used for the discussion
*{{mono|{{var|N}}}} = the number of pages which are proposed for moves

Occasionally the discussions for significant multi-move requests may be hosted on [[WP:WikiProject|WikiProject]] talk pages or other pages in [[Wikipedia:Project namespace|Project namespace]]. For multi-move discussions hosted on a page which is not itself proposed to be moved, specify {{para|current1|Current title of page 1}} for the first page to move.

===Adding survey and discussion subsections===
Use the code {{para|talk|yes}} to append the subsections in {{tl|Requested move/talk}}.

===Suppressing the signature or the section heading===
This template automatically adds a [[WP:SIG|signature]] to the requested move reason unless it appears to be already signed. To suppress the signature, you can use the code {{para|sign|no}}. To suppress the section heading, {{para|heading|no}} ({{para|header|no}} will also work).<br />
Requested moves are required to have a section heading and signature, so these parameters should rarely be used, generally only by experienced editors repairing malformed requests.
