==Moving== | ==Moving== | ||
The ability to move a page is restricted to [[Zelda Dungeon Wiki:Autoconfirmed users|Autoconfirmed]] users and above. Pages can be be moved using the move tab at the top of every page. Simple things like moving pages to a confirmed canonical name, conforming the title to the wiki's naming standards, or correcting a typo in the title may be done immediately. But if a move is more ambiguous and does not have anything official to clearly justify the move, it's strongly requested that a topic regarding the move be created on the relevant talk page for the page to be moved. | |||
Files cannot be moved by regular members. If you wish for a file to be renamed, make a request of one of the [[Zelda Dungeon Wiki:Administrators|admins]] for it to be moved. | |||
==Deletion== | ==Deletion== | ||
Only [[Zelda Dungeon Wiki:Administrators|admins]] can delete files. To suggest a page for deletion, follow the usage instructions on the [[Template:Delete|delete template]] and place it at the top of the page to be deleted. Optionally, you may also create a section discussing the proposed deletion on the relevant talk page. | |||
