Poor Image: Administrivia.How To Move A Page

Some of the images in the folders are more than a little outdated.

We had a thread about this one a while back and unless I'm completely misremembering, I think the decision was to wait until there was actually a page to move, then get screencaps during the move process and use them to replace the pics.

I recently used this page to move a work page to the correct namespace. Found it confusing since it was my first move.

Thanks, ~Synchronicity for moving a page I put on the sandbox! I was thinking of doing the screencaps for that one! You go, girl!

I started on Sandbox.How To Move A Page. I chose Er Ist Wieder Da from the English Localization Cleanup because it had 19 wicks . I'll periodically update the sandbox and bump this thread again afterwards.

We need a different page for the subpage split part though.

How about Woolseyism.Film, which the too-long page repair had consensus to split into Woolseyism.Film Animated and Woolseyism.Film Live Action?

Edit: Sorry, that was from the folderizer thread. Characters.The Nostalgia Critic Other Characters could use some splitting.

NVM, we do have How to Split a Page (edit: which also needs updating...), so I don't know why the original example bothered with soft-splitting a subpage. Can I just use it to move Trivia.Er Ist Wieder Da to Trivia.Look Whos Back, as the trivia on it is for the film?

Bump. Also, is the Trope Relationships part still relevant, or has that been deprecated?

Moved Trivia.Er Ist Wieder Da to Trivia.Look Whos Back. Also took some screenshots.

Can you upload 'em to the sandbox?

More eyes on it would really be appreciated.

Turns out I didn't screenshot all the steps... but anyway, I did some.

Where's this at?

Sandbox.How To Move A Page

I meant where was the progress at...poorly worded.

I just made an executive decision and hacked off the splitting subpages part, and moving indexes part (I think now it's mainly the same?). My only question left is moving reviews. Can we do that with the way the site is set up now?

I don't think so, since I checked a reviews page and didn't see a "correct subject" button. Maybe you need to flag the reviews to ask the mods?

I plan on moving Anime.Fullmetal Alchemist to Anime.Fullmetal Alchemist 2003.

~Willbyr, is there actually still a way to move reviews on the user end, or do we just flag the mods?

Other than that bit the sandbox is pretty much done (unless we still need an index guide? Do users do much index-moving nowadays?)

Ugh, I meant to ask about this and forgot. I’ll check.

Just confirmed that that's mod-only now.

Cool cool. I think the sandbox has covered everything now. Mind reading through it?

I don't see any problems with it.

Yeah, it looks good.

Bump as this is at the bottom again. Should I swap it in and we can close this?

Go ahead and swap.
