This '''Rename''' {{tag|Housekeeping templates|housekeeping template}} is used to highlight possibly incorrectly named [[article]]s, [[Special:Templates|templates]], or [[Special:Categories|categories]] here on WikiIndex; to request a more appropriate name; to prompt discussion on the new suggestion; and ultimately, to ideally get the requested action completed. Whilst most articles can be [[move]]d at will by all WikiIndex registered [[user]]s (as long as they are actually logged in, and there is no individual page protection which prevents [[Rename|renaming]] of the specific page), most [[template]]s, and all [[categories]] can <u>only</u> be renamed by WikiIndex {{tag|Admin}}istrators and above. | |||
;''Usage | ;''Usage | ||
Copy the following boilerplate text and paste it at the '''<u>top</u>''' of the [[edit box]] on the [[article]], [[Special:Templates|template]], or [[Special:Categories|category]] to be [[WikiIndex:Naming conventions|renamed]]. | |||
<code><nowiki>{{Rename|</nowiki>''<nowiki>new better name of article or category</nowiki>''<nowiki>|</nowiki>''<nowiki>reason for suggestion</nowiki>''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> | <br> | ||
<code><nowiki>{{Rename|</nowiki>''<nowiki>new better name of article, template or category</nowiki>''<nowiki>|</nowiki>''<nowiki>reason for suggestion</nowiki>''<nowiki>}}</nowiki></code> | |||
Please replace the ''<tt>new better name of article, template or category</tt>'' text with the actual preferred new name of the article, [[template]], or [[category]]; and don't forget to briefly state your reasons. This {{tag|Housekeeping templates|housekeeping template}} automatically detects the actual [[WikiIndex:Namespace conventions|namespace]] in which it is being used, therefore, there is no need to include the namespace identifier for the new name suggestion (providing you are suggesting a rename within the <u>same</u> namespace). If it is not possible to add the reason within the actual template, please indicate on their respective [[talk page]]s the reason(s) for the requested [[WikiIndex:Naming conventions|rename]], and please be prepared to subsequently respond to any comments or requests for clarity. | |||
When specifically requesting a '''[[Special:Categories|category]] rename''', correct or better grammar is a strong reason, as is changing a plural category name into a singular. Specifically for categories, it is an absolute given that a category will (or should) contain <u>more than one</u> article (and / or sub-category) within, so there is no need to use a pluralised name. Furthermore, unlike [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]], here on WikiIndex, we actually use MANY categories as 'articles'; that is to say, for many subjects which are not directly (and exclusively) related to '[[wiki]]' (such as [[:Category:Country|countries]], [[:Category:Professions|professions]], [[:Category:Science|science]], [[:Category:Lifestyles|lifestyles]], [[:Category:Technology|technology]], etc), categories ARE our 'articles' here on WikiIndex, and we actually link to categories as articles by using our {{Template|Tag}} template. Hence the need for grammatically correct category names. | |||
Articles, | Articles, templates, or categories that are tagged with this '''rename''' template will be automatically added to [[:category: Articles to be renamed]]. | ||
