- Usage
Place the following boilerplate text at the top of the edit box.
{{Rename|new better name of article or category|reason for suggestion}}
Please replace the new better name of article or category text with the actual preferred new name of the article or category. This housekeeping template automatically detects the namespace in which it is being used, therefore, there is no need to include the namespace identifier for the new name suggestion. Please indicate on their specific talk page the reason for the rename. When requesting a category rename, correct or better grammar is a strong reason, as is changing a plural into a singular. (For categories, it is an absolute given that a category will contain more than one article within, so there is no need to use a pluralised name.)
Articles, sections or categories tagged with this rename template will be automatically added to category: Articles to be renamed.
