A lot of users on the wiki have recently been moving pages around, and often have been doing it the manual way: copy the source from one page to another, and make a redirect by hand. What most users apparently don't realize is that there is a move button at the top of every page, and any logged-in user can use that button.
You can also choose to move a page's corresponding discussion page along with it too, if it has one. This is very useful for archiving pages (simply tack on Archive: at the beginning of the page name) or moving your old pages.
- Using the move tab automatically creates a redirect and can also fix other redirects to prevent double redirects.
However, if the new page already has content (perhaps a #REDIRECT), MediaWiki won't allow you to move the page (unless you have the power to delete pages). You'll still need to move the page by hand, in this case.
