The Time Lord Academy/Using the speedy rename tag

There can be some confusion over whether to use the {{Rename}} or {{Speedy rename}} tag when requesting a page move.

As explained on Template:Speedy rename, the {{Speedy rename}} "marks pages that have obvious, non-controversial errors in their titles for swift renaming." This usually applies to pages that have been improperly named per Tardis:Disambiguation or Tardis:Naming conventions (or have been misspelled by the page creator). These are pages whose rename doesn't require any discussion. If there is any question about why a page should be renamed, or what it should be renamed to, then you must use {{Rename}}.

Instructions for using the {{Speedy rename}} are pretty simple, and explained at Template:Speedy rename, but are printed here for convenience:

{{Speedy rename|new=new name|links=yes or no|user=name of user proposing the change}}

• new: the proposed new name (be sure to proofread for spelling)
• links: if all links have been moved, type "yes"; otherwise, type "no". There are no other choices allowed.
• user: this is the user name of the user proposing the change. If you did not propose the change, but you change the links, do not change the name. The name allows an admin to contact the user who proposed the change if necessary.

Finally, as always, please remember that only admins are allowed to move pages on this wiki. Details are explained at Thread:128198.
