The{{Moved discussion to}} and{{Moved discussion from}} tags are related to{{Resolved}}, and are used to indicate when a discussion has been moved elsewhere. They are meant to be placed at the top of sections ontalk pages and other discussions, and serve as a reminder for editors not to add any more to the discussion, except at its new location, unless absolutely necessary.
Place the following under the topic heading on a talk page:
{{Moved discussion to|New location|2=~~~~}} Moved toTalk:ArchiveIf a discussion is long, it should be removed from its original location (except for the heading and this template) after it is moved, or at least archived.
Namespace:Pagename#Topic. If it exists, the page name will be auto linked. To use a section of this template's own documentation page as an example:{{Moved discussion to|Template:Moved discussion to/doc#Example}}:Linking it manually also works, and is used for linking to an anchor on the same page, as in{{Moved discussion to|[[#Example]]}}:
Moved to#ExampleIt can also be used to provide a URL, but the parametermust be explicitly named|1=, or the= character in the URL will break it. This can be used to give apermalink to the discussion in question:{{Moved discussion to |1=https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement&oldid=702541812#RantyEditor99}}
{{Moved discussion to |1=[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement&oldid=702541812#RantyEditor99 WP:AE request]}}
Moved toWP:AE request|2= (AKA|reason=,|signature=,|sig=), is an additional comment explaining why the discussion was moved, and/or to sign so that others know who marked the thread as resolved. It is especially optional if a comment retained below the heading makes it clear who did the move and why. If used, it should fit on one line, and the explicit|2= or|reason= is necessary if there are any "=" characters in the message, for example if your raw signature contains the character, which is quite common. Example:{{Moved discussion to|Talk:Article|2=Articles have been updated with 2007 data, and are now in sync. ~~~~}} Moved toTalk:Article|back=y will replace the wording "Moved to" with "Moved back to".The corresponding{{Moved discussion from|Talk:Article|2=Optional message. ~~~~}} would be placed under the topic heading of the discussion after it is pasted into its new location, usually with the same or a similar message, so that the reasons for the move are clear on both ends.
|moved= will replace the word "Moved" with something else, e.g. "Split", "Archived", "Partially moved", etc.AtWikipedia:Help desk one might use:
==Question about turtles=={{Moved discussion to|1=Talk:Turtle#Chelonia|2=Wrong venue.}}[[Chelonia]] currently redirects to[[Turtle]], but''Chelonia'' is the monotypic genus of the[[Green Sea Turtle]]. Shouldn't it be Chelonian→Turtle, and Chelonia→Green Sea Turtle? –[[User:OneUser123|OneUser123]] 23 January 2025 05:08 (UTC):The Help Desk is for questions about using Wikipedia; this discussion really belongs on[[Talk:Turtle]]. --[[User:AnotherUser789|AnotherUser789]] 23 January 2025 05:26 (UTC)::I moved it.~~~~
AtTalk:Turtle, the corresponding section might look like:
==Chelonia=={{Moved discussion from|1=Wikipedia:Help desk#Question about turtles|2=This is the correct venue.~~~~}}[[Chelonia]] currently redirects to[[Turtle]], but''Chelonia'' is the monotypic genus of the[[Green Sea Turtle]]. Shouldn't it be Chelonian→Turtle, and Chelonia→Green Sea Turtle? –[[User:OneUser123|OneUser123]] 23 January 2025 05:08 (UTC)
