Template talk:Move

I nominate we remove the move link here. it can only be a bad thing. people know how wikis work, and can be told without the link, which encourages move-spam. --Kizzycocoa 23:50, 11 October 2011 (UTC)


 * What's worse, people moving pages to bad names properly, or them copy-paste moving, which requires you to do history merges? – ultradude25 ( T &#124; C ) at 01:52, 12 October 2011 (UTC)


 * History merges, by far. I'd revert ill-advised moves that were properly done, all day long, before I'd want to clean up a half-dozen copy-and-paste moves. =P 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 06:59, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

Reformat
This template is formatted in a way that doesn't fit. Other message boxes, such as merge, use and  correctly,  while this template does it all with. I created an example of what the template would look like in my sandbox. Should we use it as a model for this template? The BlobsPaper.png 17:32, 3 December 2016 (UTC)


 * the use of proper parameters. Can you do one where it still warns against copy-pasting the page?  According to the previous discussion, it was highly preferable that people know not to copy-paste a page. –  Sealbudsman talk/contr 20:29, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I added this. The BlobsPaper.png 20:50, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't see how anybody could disagree substantially, if you want to go ahead. It's unquestionably an improvement. – Sealbudsman talk/contr 18:32, 10 February 2017 (UTC)

Namespace preserve
Dinoguy1000@undefined would it make sense to still have some option for change of namespace for moving? While in most cases we can assume template to template or file to file, I can see the occasional use for a proposal changing between namespaces, such as moving from between Project and Help, from a project to a main page, or if we ever add that Tutorial namespace. – KnightMiner  t/c 19:48, 30 November 2017 (UTC)


 * I thought about that while making the change, and decided it was a rabbit hole I'd rather not jump down unless and until it's actually needed, though admittedly I was only thinking about determining automatically on the basis of the namespace of the current page versus the namespace of the proposed move target, rather than a separate parameter specifically for namespace or something of the sort. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 20:16, 30 November 2017 (UTC)
