Question about the Mabinogi page

OK, so a long time ago, I was the one who made the page for Mabinogi (the online game). At the time, I didn't know that it was possible to have two pages with the same name. That's why I added the "fantasy life" subtitle to the page's name - to differentiate it from the page for the Mabinogion.

My question is whether I should just change it to games/Mabinogi. I'd kind of like to do that, but it might cause trouble with the links to the page. I guess I could make it so the current page name redirects to the new one, but I'm not sure how to do that.

I'm not sure what to do, so could i have some advice?

VideoGames.Mabinogi would be fine. You should probably move Mabinogi to whatever the appropriate namespace is as well.

VideoGame.Mabinogi. Singular.

Yes, and Main.Mabinogi and Main.Mabinogion should both be moved to Literature.Mabinogi and Literature.Mabinogion, respectively. Make Main.Mabinogi a disambiguation page.

Ah, my bad. I forget which ones are plural.

According to the Name Space article, they should all be singular.

So, uh...how would I go about moving the page? I'm not sure how to do it.

We don't have anything fancy for moving articles to new titles. You'll have to copy the text from Mabinogi Fantasy Life and paste it into VideoGame.Mabinogi.

I can move the Mabinogion article and turn Main.Mabinogi into a disambiguation page.

Copypasta everything from the source page onto the new page. Then use the "notify mod" button under the tools menu to ask a mod to move the subpages. Make sure to include the location of the new page in your note.

Actually, if you wouldn't mind, tell me the page that needs to be moved and I'll do it and take screen shots so we can make a nice TRS "How to move pages" thread with images.

Okay, is the subtitle on the videogame actually part of the title?

Mabinogion is now in the Literature/ namespace, and Main.Mabinogi is a disambig page.

Okay, I've copied the page over. I'm going to assemble the screen shots for the tutorial, if someone can move all the wiks while I'm cropping screen shots, I can finish this up.

Okay, got a slight problem. I think it's supposed to be Video Games as the namespace, the icon isn't showing up on the pages.

This should probably be moved to the TRS.

That's because the official namespace used to be Game/ and Fast Eddie hasn't applied the icon to the new namespace yet.

Okay, fucknuggets. I miss typed my ctrl+v and I managed to replace all the wiks until the "m"s with Video Game/Mabinogi without the curly brackets. Other than that, she's done if you've moved the substuff. If so, I'd like to turn the page into a redirect so I can finish my "how to move pages" thread.

I don't suppose the mods still have that tool that lets them do a hard replace of specific lines of text?

Necessary subpages have been moved, so you can make Mabinogi Fantasy Life a redirect to Videogame.Mabinogi
