Moved to | This template is used on approximately 2,700 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandboxor/testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them. |
The {{Moved discussion to}} and {{Moved discussion from}} tags are related to {{Resolved}}, and are used to indicate when a discussion has been moved elsewhere. They are meant to be placed at the top of sections on talk pages and other discussions, and serve as a reminder for editors not to add any more to the discussion, except at its new location, unless absolutely necessary.
Place the following under the topic heading on a talk page:
{{Moved discussion to|New location|2=~~~~}}
Moved to Talk:ArchiveIf a discussion is long, it should be removed from its original location (except for the heading and this template) after it is moved, or at least archived.
Namespace:Pagename#Topic. If it exists, the page name will be auto linked. To use a section of this template's own documentation page as an example: {{Moved discussion to|Template:Moved discussion to/doc#Example}}:
Linking it manually also works, and is used for linking to an anchor on the same page, as in {{Moved discussion to|[[#Example]]}}:
Moved to #Example
It can also be used to provide a URL, but the parameter must be explicitly named |1=, or the = character in the URL will break it. This can be used to give a permalink to the discussion in question:
{{Moved discussion to |1=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement&oldid=702541812#RantyEditor99}}
{{Moved discussion to |1=[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement&oldid=702541812#RantyEditor99 WP:AE request]}}
Moved to WP:AE request
|2= (AKA |reason=, |signature=, |sig=), is an additional comment explaining why the discussion was moved, and/or to sign so that others know who marked the thread as resolved. It is especially optional if a comment retained below the heading makes it clear who did the move and why. If used, it should fit on one line, and the explicit |2=or|reason= is necessary if there are any "=" characters in the message, for example if your raw signature contains the character, which is quite common. Example:{{Moved discussion to|Talk:Article|2=Articles have been updated with 2007 data, and are now in sync. ~~~~}}
Moved to Talk:Article
|back=y will replace the wording "Moved to" with "Moved back to".
The corresponding {{Moved discussion from|Talk:Article|2=Optional message. ~~~~}} would be placed under the topic heading of the discussion after it is pasted into its new location, usually with the same or a similar message, so that the reasons for the move are clear on both ends.
|moved= will replace the word "Moved" with something else, e.g. "Split", "Archived", "Partially moved", etc.AtWikipedia:Help desk one might use:
==Question about turtles== {{Moved discussion to |1=Talk:Turtle#Chelonia |2=Wrong venue.}} [[Chelonia]] currently redirects to [[Turtle]], but ''Chelonia'' is the monotypic genus of the [[Green Sea Turtle]]. Shouldn't it be Chelonian→Turtle, and Chelonia→Green Sea Turtle? – [[User:OneUser123|OneUser123]] 24 July 2024 05:08 (UTC) :The Help Desk is for questions about using Wikipedia; this discussion really belongs on [[Talk:Turtle]]. --[[User:AnotherUser789|AnotherUser789]] 24 July 2024 05:26 (UTC) ::I moved it. ~~~~
AtTalk:Turtle, the corresponding section might look like:
==Chelonia==
{{Moved discussion from |1=Wikipedia:Help desk#Question about turtles
|2=This is the correct venue. ~~~~}}
[[Chelonia]] currently redirects to [[Turtle]], but ''Chelonia'' is the monotypic genus
of the [[Green Sea Turtle]]. Shouldn't it be Chelonian→Turtle, and Chelonia→Green Sea Turtle?
