Template:Renamed
 |
 | This template may have no transclusions, because it is substituted by a tool or script, it is used as part of a short-term or less active Wikipedia process, or for some other reason. |
Purpose
Renaming, or moving a page, might result in double redirects pointing to the original article name which need to be fixed. It could also make it necessary for other changes to be made to an article's content so that it aligns properly with the new title. In some cases where such changes are not immediately made at the time of page move, a notice may be beneficial to prevent confusion.
Usage
This template adds a message box to an article in order to inform editors and readers of the article's recent name change. It should remain at the top of the page at least until any obvious or major incongruences are fixed.
Place the following wikitext at the top of an article: {{Renamed|from=Old title|date=October 2024}}
Parameters
There are only two parameters for this template, but both are required:
|from=(or|old=) should be the original title of the article it was moved from. The double-bracket enclosure (i.e. [[Article name]] format) is not needed, the template does it automatically.|date=takes the current month and year and adds it at the end of the template for reference. (Ex:|date=December 2020)
