=== Moving pages ===

If you make a page or come across a page with the wrong title (e.g. it is misspelled, or in the wrong namespace), use "move" function -- hover over or click on the down-arrow by the Search bar and click the "Move" link to access it.  Give the new title in the indicated space, and give a brief reason in the text box below.  As long as there is not already a page with the new title (or if the page that is there is just a redirect with no other edits), the page and its entire history will be moved to the new title, while a redirect will be left behind at the old title, just in case there are other pages that link to the page at its old title (the fact that a redirect gets left behind also means that a page can be moved right back to the old title if you mess up).  Check for new [[Special:DoubleRedirects|Double Redirects]] (redirects pointing to other redirects) and [[Special:BrokenRedirects|Broken Redirects]] (redirects that point to pages that do not exist) after the moving is done, and clean up any that get made as a result of a move; be especially careful if you are moving a page for the second time.
