User:Bawt/Move Requests
Instructions
To make a bunch of requests, you would have done all of the following before clicking Save:
- Erase the contents of the Requests section.
- Place requests for file moves and reference updates you wish to make, according to the format below. Each request should be on a line of its own.
- Enter an edit summary which will be used for file moves. This can be, for example, "Non-generic filename" or "Correct item capitalisation".
The bot could be processing a request while you were making your request as a new revision, but in that case, you would have erased previous requests regardless. The bot would process every line of your revision as a new request when it was done with the revision it was processing.
Note: Do not use this page for requests to optimise PNGs. Please follow the instructions on User:Bawt/Requests for that specific task.
Requests to move images and update references
A request could move an image and then update references to it, using lines of the form *File:Sourcename.ext|File:Targetname.ext.
The edit summary you used to make your request would be used as part of the edit summary for the file moves resulting from it, without the " (no talk page)" tag attached if applicable. Here's an example:
- Bawt moved "File:Sourcename.ext" to "File:Targetname.ext" ((Semi-automated) Move requested by Example (talk): The edit summary used to make the request)
Requests to update references
A request could update references to an image in pages, using lines of the form *File:Sourcename.ext|File:Targetname.ext|NoMove (or |OnlyPages). This would not move the image. This could be useful when an image had already been moved by an admin but not all of its references had been updated.
