In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen.

• Template:Pp-move-indef protect from move
• Move wont happen if moving to existing redirect page - so https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_move
  • add at bottom of Talk page: {{subst:requested move|NewName|reason=Place here your rationale for the proposed page name change, ideally referring to applicable naming convention policies and guidelines, and providing evidence in support where appropriate. If your reasoning includes search engine results, please prioritize searches limited to reliable sources (e.g. books, news, scholarly papers) over other web results. Do not sign this.}} and wait for bot to add box
  • notify interested parties - {{reply to|Peter coxhead}}, to generate@username
  • to close out, follow instructions in box

• • work around eg Sedum telephium to Hylotelphium telephium: Move talk page (without leaving a redirect), 04.56 move redirect page to Draft:Move/Sedum telephium (old name, now new redirect), move Draft:Move/Sedum telephium to Sedum telephium
