Editing Battlestar Wiki:Page Moves

{{policy|24 July 2006|shortcut=BW:MOVE}}

This page covers '''moves and renames''' of any page in any namespace, whether it be an article or a Battlestar Wiki policy page. 

== Rationale ==

Unfortunately, due to the work of a vandal who moved articles to nonsense names, Battlestar Wiki's management team was forced to enact a policy preventing regular users to move pages. While administrators have the power to move pages, we feel that page moves or renames are not administrator-level feats. This policy covers two items: how to request a page move and how to obtain move permissions.

== Requirements ==

Any user meeting the following requirements may be eligible for move privileges:

# User has amassed at least 100 productive edits, as determined by the [[Special:Editcount|the on-wiki edit counter]].
#* A non-productive edit is anything relating to adding vandalism or nonsense to any portion of the wiki.
# User has been a contributor for more than 3 days, as determined by the [[Special:Logs|log page]] containing a [http://www.battlestarwiki.org/en/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=newusers list of users and when they created the account].

== Procedure ==

To request a page or pages be moved:

# Add {{tl|move}} to the top of the page in question. Be sure to include the new name the article should be moved to. Save the page.
# Make a note on the article's discussion page on why you believe the article should be renamed or moved.

To request move permissions:

# Add your request to the [[Battlestar Wiki talk:Page Moves|talk page on page moves]]. While it isn't necessary to provide a reason for your request (all requests are automatically granted should you meet the requirements), a reason would be appreciated. 
# Should a user or users wish to contest or offer comment regarding a user's request, they are more than welcome to do so, as so long as they provide evidence for their views.
