Revision as of 07:49, 24 July 2019
Suggested rearrangement of notice text
The text of this notice currently looks something like:
It has been requested that the title of this article be changed to Foo. Please see the relevant discussion on the discussion page. The page should not be moved unless the discussion is closed; summarizing the consensus achieved in support of the move.
The first time I saw one of these, I clicked the link on the word 'requested' thinking that it would bring me to the specific request about the article I was reading (rather than WP:RM which generically explains the requested move process). It took a while to train myself not to click that link, but rather the 5th link in the text (on the phrase "discussion page"). I feel like this is probably an easy mistake to make. What about a minor rearrangement/rewording along these lines:
There is a discussion underway about changing the title of this article to Foo via the requested moves process. The page should not be moved unless the discussion is closed; summarizing the consensus achieved in support of the move.
The discussion is arguably the most important link, so I like putting it at the front. (Sorry, not sure if there's a better place to propose/discuss this) Colin M (talk) 12:04, 4 June 2019 (UTC)
wikidata item
I have created one wikidata item for this page at wikidata:Q65923863 and ported this page to fa.wiki but don't know why the fa.wiki link is not shown here while there is no problem in fa.wiki. --Editor-1 (talk) 06:46, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

@Editor-1: Have you notified the bot owner and made sure this doesn't break anything? — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 07:07, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
- No, I didn't think that it brings any problem. Is there such possibility?! --Editor-1 (talk) 07:11, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
- I don't think the bot will crash, but it will most likely keep using the old template. The maintainer has this page on their watchlist, so they will likely see this and change the name used in code (but then all pages need to be updated or code needs to detect both names). I have no idea what other tools or scripts may be using this template by name. You also didn't move the subpage User:RMCD bot/subject notice/doc. — HELLKNOWZ ▎TALK 07:29, 24 July 2019 (UTC)
- Which says, "This notice is intended to be automatically placed by User:RMCD bot, as part of the requested moves process. Please do not manually transclude this page.
