The name I was using was suggested by one of your administrators.  If you want to change it, than please do not change it to something biased.  Your changes have all resulted in biased titles that give the impression that it was their idea when it wasn't.  If you want to keep pages about them, that's fine, but please don't make titles that make the original wiki seem like some sort of crap side thing.  [[User:Sturmkrieger|Sturmkrieger]] ([[User talk:Sturmkrieger|talk]]) 09:29, 19 March 2013 (PDT)

:Erm . . . you are correct - it was a 'suggestion', and not a statement of fact.  Also, please be aware, the administrator who suggested that name to you is just one of a team of admins (and who is also quite new to WikiIndex) - and whilst we are all part of said 'team', we all sometimes have slightly differing ideas.  Furthermore, any 'administrator' action can be overturned by the site owners (and or bureaucrats).

:The crucial issue here though, is that we have clearly defined article naming conventions - [[WikiIndex:Naming Conventions]].  Perhaps you'd be kind enough to read it, instead of accusing me of bias!  The name I changed it to reflects the actual domain of your wiki.  Please remember, your wiki is very new, whereas the other wiki has been established for a long time.  Your wiki is sparse, devoid of content (apart from bitching about the other wiki), lacks page views (see [[wikiFactor]]), and lacks any graphical content or customisation - whereas the other wiki has tons of content, has established page views, has amazing graphics and customisation - and generally looks a very professional wiki.  Now, whilst I understand [[User:Arcane|Arcane's]] comment about 'first come, first dibs on article name' - I don't actually agree.  As it stands, we have two wikis on the same subject matter - one new and devoid of content, and the other long established and very popular.  If, in time, your own wiki grows and matures to a similar level as the other wiki - we can then rename the other wiki, and create a disambiguation.

:Please, be advised to direct your efforts into building up your own wiki, and then reap the rewards from your efforts.  You will win no friends here on WikiIndex (and maybe not on your own wiki) if you continue with your antagonistic efforts.  Try to work ''with'' the other wiki, rather than swimming against the tide.  If you can't do that, then just agree to disagree, draw a line in the sand, and move on - respecting each others point of view.  I wish you well, best regards  --[[User:Hoof Hearted|Sean, aka <small>Hoof Hearted</small>]] • <sub>[[:Category:Active administrators of this wiki|Admin]]</sub> • <small>[[User talk:Hoof Hearted|talk2HH]]</small> 11:28, 19 March 2013 (PDT)

::I suggested the name of Sturmkrieger's wiki (as in, the site the user administrates) be changed to reflect his stated intentions for his wiki. To be exact, the name I saw for his wiki (on the header bar of my browser and his homepage) was "Sturmkrieg". My suggested name would have helped you dispel any confusion anyone trying to visit the site "Sturmkrieg" on the internet might have when trying to find the wiki of the name (since two wikis now share the same name). I did not intend to imply that this user wiki should be renamed here on WikiIndex to "The True Sturmkrieger Wiki", that was something I should have clarified and I apologize for the confusion. I plan to stand by and defer to yours and the other senior administrators judgment on this matter (especially since I'm still inexperienced, as this incident has proven), and shall direct this user's further inquires to be dealt with by someone with more experience. As for naming comment, I share the same sentiments and believe the first wiki should not be confused with the second until the second reaches a similar level of maturity regarding site content (then a rename/disambiguation could be discussed), and if I caused any confusion or made an erroneous judgment, I apologize for my indiscretion and/or carelessness.  [[User:Arcane|Arcane]] ([[User talk:Arcane|talk]]) 14:33, 19 March 2013 (PDT)Arcane

==A way to "rename" category pages==
I saw you added a note to [[WikiIndex:Naming Conventions‎]] about how category pages can't be renamed, which is true.
I saw you added a note to [[WikiIndex:Naming conventions‎]] about how [[Special:Categories|category pages]] can't be renamed, which is true.


However, since we have the [[Special:ReplaceText|Replace Text]] extension, there is a workaround which preserves the [[edit history]].
