Dofus:Community Portal/Renaming a page

A wikia being based on links, renaming a page often implies more than using the renaming function. Here's a short procedure, using the Ftalmo as an example and renaming it to Phtalmo.

Renaming - Technically

 * To rename a page, simply use the Move tab of the page to be renamed.




 * The following window appears




 * Type in the new name
 * Type in the reason (frequently: 'IG name change') and validate


 * A confirm window appears.



Congratulations, you have just renamed the page.

Listing the old links
Note: All Ftalmo links will now redirect to Phtalmo but must be edited to reflect the name change.


 * Method 1
 * In the confirm window: click on 'Links' following the old name to get a list of where the name appeared.

 * Type the old name in the search field. You will be redirected to the new page, with the redirection displayed on top of the page.

Editing the old links

 * Click on a link to go to the corresponding page and edit it.
 * In the summary for the edit, type 'Corrected link (name change)' or something similar.
 * Be sure to change all occurrences (the name may appear several times on a given page)
 * Editing the name may imply reordering the list where it appears.

 * Correct all pages. To go back to the list of old links, either:
 * Use the Back button of your browser several times to get back to the list. Refresh it.
 * Use method 2 described above


 * All corrected entries should disappear. Here's an example of corrected list. User pages and administrative pages should normally be left untouched.
