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)

Image to this template?
Hi, I would have a image to this template, usually a move icon, but it gets removed by User:Dinoguy1000, and I would have a image, what sort of image, and image helps reader see which sort template it is and no image is very hard to understand which template, and no image do I not think is good, I would have this image:, it easily sees that it is a move template instead of no image, and in Template:Msgbox, we could modify it to show a info icon by default, but it can be removed by setting  parameter to  , and could we also use an arrow from the game also?  psl85  (talk • contribs) 05:09, 24 July 2018 (UTC)


 * - I'm pretty sure that the main reason why Orthotope removed the images is that they deleted them for violating copyright (the appropriate attribution wasn't given) - not solely because they disagreed with them. So adding other images back (with the appropriate attribution/source, which File:Arrow right.png has) wouldn't exactly be edit warring or probably wouldn't require consensus.-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 12:45, 24 July 2018 (UTC)


 * I don't have any strong feelings about this one way or another. I didn't realize that was Orthotope's reason for removing the images originally, since he didn't leave an edit summary in his removal. If that's all it was, though, then no, consensus isn't needed here. 「 ディノ 奴 千？！ 」? · ☎ Dinoguy1000 14:18, 24 July 2018 (UTC)


 * The main reason for adding a image is to easily see which template and the arrow I uploaded easily shows that it is moving, and no image think I is ugly, and the image makes it easier to see which template it is, I support adding the arrow I uploaded --Wikipedia-logo.png psl85  (talk • contribs) 16:30, 24 July 2018 (UTC)


 * I agree this template could be improved by the image you uploaded. . – Sealbudsman talk | contribs 22:04, 24 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Personally, I identify notice templates by their text, not images. Since there's a properly-licensed image now, I have no particular opposition to using it. -- Orthotopetalk 22:52, 24 July 2018 (UTC)


 * I went ahead and readded the image, as the reason Dinoguy reverted it isn't actually the case, as seen above. Tbh, I personally don't have much of an opinion here, though.-- Madminecrafter12 Orange Glazed Terracotta.png to meLight Blue Glazed Terracotta.png 22:59, 24 July 2018 (UTC)
