This help page is a how-to guide. It explains concepts or processes used by the Wikipedia community. It is not one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, and may reflect varying levels of consensus. |
After moving a page, you should be prepared to perform a number of resulting clean-up tasks. Two of the most commonly required actions are updating the article's prose to reflect the new title and updating navigational templates to wikilink directly to the new title.
Whether any one of the below clean-up tasks is required will depend on the circumstances of the move. Some of the most involved clean-up tasks are limited to moves which introduce a change in "topic structure", for example when an article is moved to a title which previously referred to a disambiguation page.
