Template documentation[view · edit · history · purge]
This documentation is transcluded from Template:Move other/doc.

Using this template will request a page to be moved.

This template should be used for pages, such as galleries, templates, help pages, and should not be used for:

  • media — images and other media to be renamed should be tagged with {{Rename}} instead.
  • categories — categories to be renamed or merged should be tagged with {{Move}} instead.

The template automatically sets the following categories: Category:Requested moves (other)

Usage


{{Move other |1= |reason= |date= }}

Template parameters

<templatedata>JSON</templatedata> ./. {{TemplateBox}}
TemplateData

TemplateData is a way to store information about template parameters (the description of those and of the whole template) for both humans and machines. It is used by VisualEditor and possibly other tools like Upload Wizard.


Existing template documentation
At Wikimedia Commons, it is recommended to use {{TemplateBox}} with either ‎useTemplateData=1 or ‎useTemplateData=only on the ‎/doc subpage and transcluding it with {{Documentation}} into the template. <nowiki>-tags can be wrapped around the arguments, if required, to avoid templates being expanded.

Newly created template documentation and imports
Another option, especially for imported templates, or for users with JSON experience, is placing raw <templatedata>-tags into the Wikitext of the template, as described in various Wikipediae.
