Moving pages
When you see an article with a bad title, creating a new page and making the old page a redirect is not how you should do it. If you do that, you essentially wipe out the old page's history, which is important, and you probably hurt the page's location on search engines since the new page starts at zero views again while the old page (which would now be a redirect that nobody visits) has several thousand.
There is a tool that only certain editors have that allows one to change an article's title without having to create a new article and thus mess up the page history. When you see a page with a bad title, please ask one of those editors. I recommend User:DavidB4 or User:Aschlafly. Thanks! --1990'sguy (talk) 15:15, 21 January 2018 (EST)
