Help:Renaming pages

< Help

Here is how to rename an OpenWetWare page:

Note that moving a page automatically results in the old page becoming a redirect to the new page. Thus, links to the old page will continue to function.
 * 1) Click on the [[Image:Movetab.png]] tab at the top of the page you want to move.
 * 2) In the To new title: box, enter your new page name.
 * 3) In the Reason box, enter a quick note about the reason. For instance, adherence to  OWW naming conventions is a common reason for renaming pages.
 * 4) Click the [[Image:Movepagebutton.png]] button.
 * 5) You'll see the message: The page has been moved.

To change links so that they point directly to the new page, do the following:


 * 1) Go to the new page.
 * 2) Click [[Image:Whatlinkshere.png]] on the left side of the page under toolbox.
 * 3) You'll be taken to a list of pages that link to the page either directly or via a redirect.
 * 4) You can then visit each of those pages individually and edit the links there so that they point directly to the new page name.
