Special:Movepage MediaWiki:Movepagetext Using the form below will rename a page, moving all of its history to the new name.

The old title will become a redirect page to the new title. You can update redirects that point to the original title automatically. If you choose not to, be sure to check for double or broken redirects. You are responsible for making sure that links continue to point where they are supposed to go.

Note that the page will not be moved if there is already a page at the new title, unless the latter is a redirect and has no past edit history. This means that you can rename a page back to where it was renamed from if you make a mistake, and you cannot overwrite an existing page.

Note: This can be a drastic and unexpected change for a popular page; please be sure you understand the consequences of this before proceeding.

Please read carefully

All files uploaded to MediaWiki.org must be available under a free license (no "fair use" or "noncommercial").
If you do not provide source and suitable license information, or if a file is in no way useful for this site (compare these hints), your file will have to be deleted without further notice.


You should upload free files unrelated to MediaWiki.org to Wikimedia Commons, our shared media repository which can be used by all Wikimedia projects in all languages, including this wiki.

To upload a file to MediaWiki.org:

  1. Choose the source file. Using JPEG format for photographs, GIF for animations, SVG for images with a vector source, and PNG for other images is recommended.
  2. Edit the destination filename below. Use a descriptive and concise filename, e.g. Button_darkgrey.jpg instead of IMG_0086273.jpg. You will not be able to change the filename once you've uploaded the file.
  3. Provide detailed information on the subject of the image (what is shown) and the source of the file (author, date, source and permission) in the text box. If you made the image by yourself, state this explicitly. If you obtained the image from somewhere on the web, please include the URL where it can be obtained.
  4. Select the appropriate license from the dropdown box. Alternatively you can name or add another free license as text to the summary field.

After uploading the file, insert it in relevant pages using the syntax [[File:Filename.jpg|thumb|Caption]].
