Template:Moved discussion to/doc

Purpose
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 on talk 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.

Usage
Place the following under the topic heading on a talk page:

 

If 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.

Parameters

 * The first parameter is the location to which the discussion has been moved. Usually this is the full page name of the new location and should also include the anchor name of the topic as well if it isn't identical in both places, in the form .  If it exists, the page name will be auto linked. To use a section of this template's own documentation page as an example: :

Linking it manually also works, and is used for linking to an anchor on the same page, as in :

It can also be used to provide a URL, but the parameter be explicitly named 1, or the   character in the URL will break it. This can be used to give a permalink to the discussion in question:


 * The optional second parameter, 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:


 * The optional parameter y will replace the wording "Moved to" with "Moved back to".

The corresponding 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.


 * The optional parameter moved will replace the word "Moved" with something else, e.g. "Split", "Archived", "Partially moved", etc.

Example
At Help desk one might use:

==Question about turtles== 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? – OneUser123 29 July 2024 05:08 (UTC) :The Help Desk is for questions about using Wikipedia; this discussion really belongs on Talk:Turtle. --AnotherUser789 29 July 2024 05:26 (UTC) ::I moved it. ~

At Talk:Turtle, the corresponding section might look like:

==Chelonia== 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? – OneUser123 29 July 2024 05:08 (UTC)
