Template:Move

It has been proposed to move Template:Move to [[:Category:]] Reason: Missing. Please add an explanation for the request to the template, e.g. |2=as [[:en:]] Date: Missing. Please add the following to the template: |3=2013-06-09 Objections and discussion have their place at Template talk:Move (two weeks are considered as adequate time for possible objections). See Commons:Rename a category for general information and policy. If the proposed rename is clearly uncontroversial or consensus-decided, place the bot command (see below) at User talk:CommonsDelinker/commands to be handled by SieBot or rename it and move the content manually. If the new destination category exists, you can remove this template, replacing it with a {{category redirect}}. If the proposal is clearly or potentially controversial or requires a broader discussion, you can transfer the discussion to Commons:Categories for discussion (replacing this template with {{subst:cfd}}) If the proposal is clearly nonsensical, mistaken or consensually rejected, please remove this template. Warning: processing period depends on activity of Commons volunteers. Hundreds proposals (especially with unclear reason or too weak support) stay waiting for many months to be handled. Bot command: {{move cat|Move|}} addadd Move;;;

This template will categorize into Category:Requested moves.

Usage: This template is used when you want to propose to move contents from the current category to a <destination category>.

{{move|<destination category>|<reason>|2013-06-09|<discussion page>}}

<destination category> is the category where you intend to move the contents of the current category. In the form of Category:NAME. No need for brackets [[]]. Remove the carets <> too. If this isn't supplied a special version of this template {{move?}} is used instead.

<reason> is optional but highly recommended. Here, you can concisely explain the reason for your proposal. Remove the carets <>. Don't forget to sign it (~~~~).

2013-06-09 today's date is optional but recommended. The date the request was made. If the date is missing, the category will end up in Category:Requested moves (date undefined). Format YYYY-MM-DD, today is 2013-06-09.

<discussion page> is optional. The page where discussion about the move is taking place. In the form of Category talk:NAME. No need for brackets [[]]. Remove the carets <> too. It is highly recommended that a discussion section about the move proposal be started. People may not notice the edit summary about the move proposal in their watchlist. Especially if another edit occurs within a few days with a different edit summary. People oftentimes wait days or more between checking their watchlists. Editors don't check up on every edit, especially if the subsequent edits are from trusted users, or the edit summaries are for edits that don't require checking up on.
