 * 2) Click the "Move" button in the dropdown.
 * Now, you will reach a page that have a line with the new title you want to give to the page. It will say the current page name, so change it to the new name for the page.
 * 1) Notice the namespace dropdown on the right, and make sure it has the same namespace as the current page namespace. Only change it if the namespace is incorrect (e.g. from mainspace to template)
 * 2) *Admins can also choose whether to leave a redirect behind or not. If no redirect is left, the former page name wil be deleted.
 * Now, press the "Rename page" button.

Please note
When moving a page, make sure the new page name isn't already taken by a different article.

Temporary page name
In case a page has to be renamed due to a temporary event, you should use the template Title instead. It will allow modifying the page name with no need to rename the page. It can be cancelled by removing the template from the page. See the template for more info.

Articles names
You might also want to take a look on our JSON page. JSON documents gather information, and are used by Club Penguin for clothing items, furniture, rooms, etc. This will allow you finding out whether to rename a page or not. See teh page for a detailed list of JSON documents.

Admins information
Please note that when trying to move an article over a page that already exists, you will be asked to delete it first.

If you mark the "delete" input box, and click "rename" once again, it will delete the current content from the page with the name you want to give to the page, giving place for moving the page.

Make sure you don't delete ordinary articles, and especially long pages and/ or pages with a long editing history.
