Template talk:Db-move/doc

above not below Redirect line
I suggest an edit to the doc page, because, when adding this template to a redirection page, the template must be placed above, not below, the #REDIRECT line, unless my experience was an exceptional quirk. When placed below, the template did not show up on the article page and no category was visible on the page's bottom. (This was done with the Gynocracy redirect page, which may not exist by the time you read this, I did not try to see if a hidden category listed the page I had templated, and I edited the page to make the template show, so it's okay now.) I don't know if a requirement to place above a Redirect line also applies to placing only above other kinds of content. Not all templates have to be placed at the top of a page, so a constraint like that should be stated. Thanks. Nick Levinson (talk) 09:09, 3 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Done. I had the same experience as you and, befuddled, had to use some well-known search engine to reach this discussion. Clearly, we're not the only ones to have encountered that problem! Besides adding a paragraph to the template's documentation, I have also added a shorter note on Requested_moves/Technical (which appears at Requested moves), where I found out about in the first place; I hadn't bothered reading the template's documentation until I bumped into the problem, and I suppose I'm not alone in that either…
