Moving a page
Hi you asked about renaming ''"Wagga Wagga Botanical Gardens". This should REALLY be "Wagga Wagga Botanic Gardens"''. To rename, you move the page using the Move tab towards the top of the page. I could do it for you but it is probably useful if you do it yourself. See Merging and moving pages and Help:Moving a page for more info.

The key bits are: click on the "Move" tab near the top of the page. You'll be asked for a new name for the page, and given the option to also move the page's talk page (say 'yes"). Please give the reason for the move, like an edit summary. Click the "move page" button and the page will be renamed to the new title. The old title will become a redirect page, so any links to the old title will still go to the new page.

Sing out if it isn't working. Regards--A Y Arktos\talk 10:22, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * It will wait another four days and you will then see how easy it is - I suspect the instructions make it sound overly complicated. :-) The restrictions on new users are relatively recent to combat vandalism. If the help pages make no sense when you are not feeling tired, feel free to comment on their talk pages. Regards--A Y Arktos\talk 11:15, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
