I feel some more context might be needed.

That said, if whoever you're talking about changed their official name, it may be all right to move content to a page under the new name, though make sure to leave the current name as a redirect.

Apparently 20th Century Fox was renamed 20th Century Studios last month.

Exactly. I figured an update was necessary to keep the page current.

Maybe keep 20th century fox as a redirect.

Obviously we're keeping the redirect, as 99% of their content was produced as 20th Century Fox.

So its okay to update the page itself, but the address is to remain "20th Century Fox"? Im sorry, im slightly confused.

^ What they mean is the contents on the 20th Century Fox page can be moved to a new 20th Century Studios page, but instead of the 20th Century Fox page being cutted after the move, it will be redirected to the 20th Century Studios page instead.

The following pages have the full details regarding moving pages and creating redirects: How to Move a Page and Creating New Redirects .

The indices this pages was mentioned in should at the very least have been changed right after the move.

The wicks need changing too, but since there are over 700 wicks, a project thread for changing the wicks should be started on the forums.
