I'm looking for a way to move a page to rename it to its proper name (Guolášjohka), but can't seem to find the "move this page"-option. Do I need special rights or am I just blind? The page is on the norwegian wiki, but I couldnt find any help over there :-) FredrikLindseth (talk) 22:24, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You must make 10 edits and wait 4 days before you can move pages. Septrillion (talk) 22:29, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Aha, I figured it must be something like that. Thanks. FredrikLindseth (talk) 22:33, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

You are autoconfirmed on the Norwegian (Bokmål) Wikipedia; that's not the issue. See Help:Move - the "move" option is hidden in a drop-down menu. There are sources that spell it Guolasjåkka kraftverk, though. I can't read Norwegian - I assume you're sure this isn't just a Nynorsk vs Bokmål issue? Huon (talk) 22:40, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Here is a link to the appropriate help page at the Norwegian Wikipedia. Scottyoak2 (talk) 22:41, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I thought it was strange and double checked my edit count. Thanks a lot. And its not a nynorsk / bokmål-thing. We have more official languages and the data here: https://stadnamn.kartverket.no/fakta/19494 is the Central Name Registry with the official names. The curious can have a look here [1] for how this mess is solved in OpenStreetMap. Some work is put into the languages now, with the Mapframe becoming available on Wikipedia, via map data from OpenStreetMap (where my main contribution is). Thanks again.
