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:

    Imagine my surprise, nay, my consternation, when without moving from his privacy, Bartleby in a singularly mild, firm voice, replied, “I would prefer not to.”
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    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)

    Paper is soft and ink is fluid; it might be better if some pages of this chronicle could be written on chips of granite at the point of steel.
    E. M. Almedingen (b. 1898–?)
