Add more reasons to dropdown

[edit]

If there's no objections, I request replacing the current contents of this page with 

* Common move reasons
** Misspelled
** Make shorter ([[WP:CONCISE]], [[WP:PRECISE]])
** Change to sentence case ([[MOS:AT]])
** Remove unnecessary parentheses/disambiguator

This will add some common reasons to the "move page" dropdown choice of reasons. Tested on testwiki.[1][2]. Thanks. –Novem Linguae (talk) 16:24, 11 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Some more reasons to dropdown

[edit]

Hello. I have a few more ideas for some more common reasons. 

** Reverting Page-move vandalism ([[WP:MOVEVANDAL]])
** Performing requested move, see talk page 
** Publish page to mainspace
** Add parentheses/disambiguator
** Fix grammar
** Reverting undiscussed move ([[WP:BRD]])

(and possibly) 

** Archiving talk page
** Move to draftspace ([[WP:DRAFTIFY]])
** Swapping two pages ([[WP:SWAP]])
** Performing requested technical move ([[WP:RMTR]])

These are just some quick ideas I came up with by looking through the move log, and some might not be necessary or need adjusting, but I think more than the current 4 reasons would be good, especially the Requested move and Publish page ones.

Support. Thanks for the ideas. Let's fill up this reason dropdown so we don't have to do as much thinking and typing in the future :) –Novem Linguae (talk) 02:11, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
 Done I've added all of these, though I made no effort to organize the current reasons, so if someone thinks they should be reordered, be my guest. =) 「ディノ奴千？！」☎ Dinoguy1000 09:53, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Dinoguy1000, would you please re-word the "publish" item? Wikipedia:Moving a page is not the same as publishing it, even if you move it into the mainspace. Publishing is when you make the page available to the public. That happens on every page, and it happens when you click the "Publish page" button, not when you move ("rename") the page. I would suggest "Move page to mainspace", perhaps with a link to WP:MOVE, as a sensible option, but so long as the result doesn't claim that it's the page mover who published the contents, I'd be happy with anything that works for you.

@WhatamIdoing: I have no problem with that; when I added these items in the first place, I copied them directly from @EchidnaLives:' comment above. I also went ahead and removed "page" from the item, to match the "Move to draft" item a bit further down. Further changes can be made without consulting with me first. =) 「ディノ奴千？！」☎ Dinoguy1000 21:15, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:54, 10 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

File naming criteria

[edit]

Please add the commonly-accepted file renaming reasons from WP:FMV/W: 

{{#switch:{{NAMESPACE}}
|File=
*Files
**[[WP:FNC#1]]: Uploader requested
**[[WP:FNC#2]]: Change from completely meaningless names into suitable names
**[[WP:FNC#3]]: Correct misleading names into accurate ones
**[[WP:FNC#4]]: Change a generic bio-names into binomial scientific names
**[[WP:FNC#5]]: Correct obvious errors in file names
**[[WP:FNC#6]]: Harmonize file names of a set of images to ease their usage in templates
**[[WP:FNC#7]]: Disambiguate files with overly similar names
**[[WP:FNC#8]]: Remove pejorative, offensive or crude language that would not be appropriate in the file description
**[[WP:FNC#9]]: Rename files that shadow a Commons file or redirect
}}
