How do you [[rename]] a [[Special:Categories|category]]? I don't mean cutting and pasting text to a new page. You should be able to move the page and its [[edit history]] to a new location. I can't do it even if I copy the old page title to the move page URL. Can any admin do it? | How do you [[Template:Rename|rename]] a [[Special:Categories|category]]?

I prepared to move Category:OddMuse to [[:Category:Oddmuse]], since it is Oddmuse accroding to its [http://www.Oddmuse.org official website]. I opened all the articles with the OddMuse [[category]] in new tabs, edited them, and then noticed that I can't move the category. Ouch.

Apparently, that page (including that link) was copied from http://moinmaster.WikiWikiWeb.de/InterWikiMap. Alas, it appears that wiki has gone offline.

:A site that discusses wiki, even if it is not a wiki itself, is on-topic for us to talk about it here at the [[WikiIndex]]. I think the simplest approach is to promote it the same as we promote a new wiki -- create a page for it, add it to the top of the list of new wiki on the home page, etc. Even though, at the moment, WikiSpeedia is merely one page proposing a site, and so technically not yet a wiki. | :A site that discusses wiki, even if it is not a wiki itself, is on-topic for us to talk about it here at the [[WikiIndex]].

:p.s.: Is there a category that means "wiki-on-wiki conversation is on-topic", so I can tag WikiSpeedia and [[MeatballWiki]] and [[CommunityWiki.org]] and [[MediaWiki.org]] and other appropriate pages here with that category? --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 09:30, 1 February 2011 (PST) | :p.s.: Is there a category that means "wiki-on-wiki conversation is on-topic", so I can tag WikiSpeedia and [[MeatballWiki]] and [[CommunityWiki|CommunityWiki.org]] and [[MediaWiki.org]] and other appropriate pages here with that category? --[[User:DavidCary|DavidCary]] 09:30, 1 February 2011 (PST) | ||
::A central web site for everything related to Wikis is extremely necessary. I just found WikiIndex today and it looks like the best place for that. Too bad that it took me more than 1 year to find it... One weakness at Wikipedia is that it doesn't have a web forum. The {{Wp|Wikipedia:Village pump|Village Pump}} is good, but far from good enough. It's practically impossible to follow an idea posted weeks ago (there are archives for each day - for example {{Wp|Wikipedia:Help desk/Archives/2007 November 24|2007 November 24}}). That's why a forum is required. A forum for everything related to Wiki. On a forum it is possible to write on the same thread even after weeks, months and years from the last post, coming with a creative and valuable answer or idea. The forum should have sub-forums for ''mediawiki and for other wiki engines'', another one for ''wiki farms'', another one for ''wikis by category'', another one for ''ideas for new wikis'' where people can search for partners to start new wikis with, another one for ''technical hep'', and so on. For example, I need to translate a template like this: {{Wp|Template:Columns-list}} to my own wiki and I don't know how to do it. Many other mediawiki users need some basic templates for their wikis and they don't know how to get them. That's why WikiSpeedia can be so helpful. It's extremely important to have a central hub for all wiki users and experts.
