Requested move template only has one argument[edit]
There is no second 'why' argument for Template:Requested move. Maybe there should be but currently it does not. I'm not sure how to fix the article so it shows how to add a 'why' statement since it uses {{tlsetl}}

- Thanks for pointing this out. I fixed it to reflect the current usage of this template. – Wbm1058 (talk) 18:53, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
- Template:Requested move now supports a second, unnamed parameter (argument) for the reason why. The template syntax is now identical with {{subst:RMtalk}}, except that the former still requires editors to sign, while the latter is auto-signed. Auto-signing is one of the benefits of substituting templates, as transcluded templates cannot automatically sign themselves. – Wbm1058 (talk) 16:43, 7 December 2012 (UTC)
Template for tagging target page[edit]
When it is proposed that page A be moved to an existing page B, which means B will be deleted, shouldn't B be tagged as well ("It has been proposed that this page be deleted and replaced by Other page"), with a link to the discussion? --Lambiam 01:59, 21 June 2012 (UTC)
- Generally moves should not be made to existing pages with content. Existing pages are often simply redirects or disambiguation pages. It may make sense to post a message on disambiguation talk pages, but I doubt notices posted to redirect talkspace would get noticed. If existing page B has content, then a WP:MERGE should be considered. Wbm1058 (talk) 21:21, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
Inappropriate title-soft[edit]
I've created this Template:Inappropriate title-soft - it removes the exclamation point from Inappropriate title - there are some articles that get tagged without any major content disputes, and the exclamation point wrongly gives readers the impression that there are major content disputes.

Contested deletion[edit]
This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --2001:4898:80E8:0:4F7:67CB:CAE3:3B22 (talk) 06:20, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
Transcluding article[edit]
What is meant by "This article" is a section of the Wikipedia:Template messages/Cleanup article as it existed back in 2012; when there was a section named Moving. Linking to today's article (renamed Template index) makes little sense, since the user is sent to a non-existing section.
Therefore I've rewritten the note to send the user back in time to where there is a relevant target.
However, I could not get the {{oldid2}} template to work within the {{tmbox}} used, so the formatting is currently simplified. You are welcome to fix this if you know how. Cheers CapnZapp (talk) 11:46, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
