Template:If pagename multi → Template:When on page – Per here --Relisted. Dekimasu よ! 01:50, 11 November 2014 (UTC) Sardanaphalus (talk) 16:53, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
 * This discussion appears to have been invisible for over a month because it was listed below a redirect. However, an associated move request is taking place at Template talk:If pagename. Dekimasu よ! 01:25, 20 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I am less sure about carrying out this one without any outside discussion. The new title seems too similar to the new When pagename is to me. How about just "When pagename is multi" or "When pagename is (multi)"? Dekimasu よ! 18:47, 25 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I see the concern, although there is the distinction between "pagename" and "page" and I imagine someone finding themselves trying this template would soon pick up or be reminded of it. How about I ask a few editors to pass by and comment and/or post the same at the Village Pump technical area? (And/or somewhere else?) Thanks for moving this along, Sardanaphalus (talk) 20:33, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
 * That seems like it would be helpful, thanks. Dekimasu よ! 16:55, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Any progress? Dekimasu よ! 06:49, 3 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Disappointingly, it appears not – although, other than a message at the Village Pump's miscellaneous and technical areas, I confess I have only managed to mention it to a couple of editors thus far. I've made Template:When on page a redirect for the time being. Regards, Sardanaphalus (talk) 00:34, 4 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Strong feelings? Possibility of confusion? Dekimasu よ! 01:29, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Support changing "if" to "when", and lean toward When pagename is multi, When pagename is - multi, Multi when pagename is, or whatever, for consistency with the meta-template at When pagename is. Even When on page would be better than present name, for reasons I outlined [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template_talk%3ABasepage_subpage&diff=625320724&oldid=625083340 earlier]. Thanks for the ping; I would have missed this otherwise.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  06:51, 26 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your input. It seems to me that trying to keep the "multi" leads to unwieldy names, so I'd stick with When on page. Sardanaphalus (talk) 20:34, 28 November 2014 (UTC)
