Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This is a versatile talk page banner to elaborate the history of previous moves and move proposals.

Usage

{{Old move
| small = yes/no
| date = <date when the request was opened>
| from = <original name of article> 
| destination = <name of destination article>
| result = <result of discussion>
| link = <oldid link to discussion>
}}

Full example.

Parameters

• date1, date2, date3...: Date when the request was opened.
• from1, from2, from3...: Original name of the article when the request was opened. May be omitted if the article was not moved.
• destination1, destination2, destination3...: Proposed title or the page title that ended up being moved to. Alias: to.
• result1, result2, result3...: Result of the discussion. Usually 'moved', 'not moved' or 'no consensus'.
• link1, link2, link3...: Link to the oldid where the discussion was closed. It may be either an unbracketed wikilink or permanent link, preferably to the #section where the discussion was held.
• small: The option "small = yes" generates a smaller, and right-aligned version of the template.

Note: Parameters may be used without the number if there is only one move.

Examples

Single move

No parameters

Using this template without parameters is extremely unhelpful and not recommended.

{{Old move}}

Date only

{{Old move 
|date = {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}
}}

Source and destination only

{{Old move 
|from        = Source 
|destination = Destination
}}

Result and link only

{{Old move 
|result = Keep
|link   = Special:Permalink/1234567
}}

Multiple moves

All parameters can be enumerated (|from2=, |link3= and so on) to add multiple entries. (BUG: result1 needs to be defined to work.)

{Old move 
|from1        = A 
|destination1 = B 
|result1      = not moved 
|from2        = C 
|destination2 = D 
|result2      = Move 
|date2        = {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}
}}

Small version

{{Old move 
|small        = yes 
|from1        = A 
|destination1 = B 
|result1      = not moved 
|from2        = C 
|destination2 = D 
|result2      = Move 
|date2        = {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}
}}
