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 and, moving, category and/or pages:

    We are all talkers
    It is true, but underneath the talk lies
    The moving and not wanting to be moved, the loose
    Meaning, untidy and simple like a threshing floor.
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)

    With varying vanities, from ev’ry part,
    They shift the moving toyshop of their heart;
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    The truth is, no matter how trying they become, babies two and under don’t have the ability to make moral choices, so they can’t be “bad.” That category only exists in the adult mind.
    Anne Cassidy (20th century)

    Writing long books is a laborious and impoverishing act of foolishness: expanding in five hundred pages an idea that could be perfectly explained in a few minutes. A better procedure is to pretend that those books already exist and to offer a summary, a commentary.
    Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
