I would like to know what to do when you see a page, I mean article, that is obviously mis-labeled. Like with a misspeling or whatever. Or if pages should be re-titled to clear up ambiguities/ambiguation. SHould you create a redirect and redo the page with the right title or what. Any help here apprec'd. 2Reasonabl (talk) 00:47, 17 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

Once you've been registered for five days (I take it you're a new user), you will be able to move a page to a different title. There will be a tab right of the "History" tab that says "Move"; it will tell you what to do from there. In the meantime, you can request to move pages at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Do not try cut-and-paste moves; they eliminate the page history and create a big hassle for other editors. And since no one seems to have welcomed you:

Welcome!

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference

edit

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and you will still be able to manually mark your edits as being 'minor'. The only thing that's changed is that you will no longer be able to have them marked as minor by default. For more information on what a minor edit is, see WP:MINOR or feel to get in touch.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 22:17, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
