'''{{tlx|{{PAGENAME}}}}''' is a template that marks pages that have obvious, non-controversial errors in their titles for swift renaming. | '''{{tlx|{{PAGENAME}}}}''' is a template that marks pages that have obvious, non-controversial errors in their titles for swift renaming. | ||
By "obvious and non-controversial", we mean that the need to move the page is clear under [[T:DAB]] or [[T:NAMING]]. For instance, if you encountered the page '''Bob''' and it was talking about a specific "Bob" from a story called ''Doctor Who and the Big Example'', then our naming conventions would be clearly offended. | By "obvious and non-controversial", we mean that the need to move the page is clear under [[T:DAB]] or [[T:NAMING]]. For instance, if you encountered the page '''Bob''' and it was talking about a specific "Bob" from a story called ''Doctor Who and the Big Example'', then our naming conventions would be clearly offended. It ''should'' be "Bob (Doctor Who and the Big Example)". This would be a straightforward application of policy. So you would use {{tlx|speedy rename}} to mark the page. | ||
You would '''not''' use it in other cases. Instead, {{tlx|rename}} is the template of choice when the proposed name change is less certain. For example, we once had a long debate over what to call the principal enemies in ''[[Planet of the Dead (TV story)|Planet of the Dead]]''. The script never specified a name, so were they '''stingrays''' or '''alien stingrays''' or what? In this case, you need to '''invite discussion by using {{tlx|rename}}'''. | You would '''not''' use it in other cases.
