How to Move a Page

2. After a period of time has elapsed for discussion, and Administrator will move the page if there are no major objections to it.
3. For smaller moves, click the "move" tab, and rename it to the page that you want the article to be named.
4. Be sure to leave a redirect if it falls within the redirect standards.
