DEFAULTSORT - Moving and Redirecting Category Pages

Moving and Redirecting Category Pages

The only way to move a category page is to manually change all category tags that link to the category, and copy the editable part. There is no automatic way to move a category page in the way one moves an article page. For categories entirely populated through templates (see above) modifying the templates enables all affected articles to be moved to another category, but with the refresh problem mentioned. Almost all category "moves" are made pursuant to a consensus decision at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.

Do not create intercategory redirects. See Wikipedia:Categories for discussion#Redirecting categories for more on category redirects.

Famous quotes containing the words moving, category and/or pages:

    “The will is one of the chief factors in belief, not that it creates belief, but because things are true or false according to the aspect in which we look at them. The will, which prefers one aspect to another, turns away the mind from considering the qualities of all that it does not like to see; and thus the mind, moving in accord with the will, stops to consider the aspect which it likes and so judges by what it sees.”
    —Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    “I see no reason for calling my work poetry except that there is no other category in which to put it.”
    —Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    “I am carrying out my plan, so long formulated, of keeping a journal. What I most keenly wish is not to forget that I am writing for myself alone. Thus I shall always tell the truth, I hope, and thus I shall improve myself. These pages will reproach me for my changes of mind.”
    —Eugène Delacroix (1798–1863)
