If you think a page should have a different title, you can propose a move by doing two things: putting the {{template|move}} template at the top of the page, and explaining on the talk page why you're suggesting the move. When adding the move template, include the title you think the page should have; for example, <code><nowiki>{{move|better title}}</nowiki></code>. All users will be allowed to discuss the pros and cons of a move. Eventually, the {{bp|Editorial Board}} will consider the page and the arguments for and against a move, and decide whether the page should be moved after all. | Clicking the "move" tab effectively allows you to rename an article. Most of the time, you must get permission to move a page before doing so.

In certain situations, you are allowed to move a page without making a formal proposal. This includes things like [[dub]] names being revealed for things that were previously titled by their Japanese name (or an unofficial translation of it) or simple misspellings. | In certain situations, you are allowed to move a page without making a formal proposal.

The move option is only available to {{bp|autoconfirmed users}}—users who have been on Bulbapedia for a fixed (but secret) length of time and made a sufficient amount of edits. There will be two text boxes for you to complete—the first is for you to write in the article's new name, the second is for you to fill in a reason for why you changed it. If the article is protected by an administrator, no non-administrators will be able to move the page and the "move" tab will not be visible. | |||
