Discussion
This is per the absence of opposition to a now stale discussion at Wikipedia talk:Featured picture candidates. -- Cat chi? 14:25, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * generators.py and wikipedia.py should be able to handle this. -- Cat chi? 14:53, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Movepages.py works better. -- Cat chi? 10:26, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Do you know about how many pages need to be moved? Mr.Z-man 22:27, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I do not believe there are too many... Several thousand maybe. -- Cat chi? 22:22, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't really like the new names (ugly, too long) but I can see their utility if you want to link to them in a systematic way. Would just creating redirects at the new names suffice for your purposes? -- Eugène van der Pijll (talk) 16:52, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Move the page, create a redirect both achieve the same task. Moving them has an additional benefit - that way the new naming convention is better advertised. -- Cat chi? 22:22, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
 * 20 moves. Mr.Z-man 00:35, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * What's the status of this? BJ Talk 21:37, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
 * BJ Talk 04:54, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I want to give this another try. -- Cat chi? 15:36, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

20 moves, same as before. Let us know when the moves are done and ready for inspection. – Quadell (talk) 13:24, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I made a few edits already. Due to https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15107 pagemoves seem to be disabled on English wikipedia. At least temporarily... -- Cat chi? 00:40, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay issue resolved. Making more test edits. -- Cat chi? 00:54, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Made 25 test edits. -- Cat chi? 01:03, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

But please change the edit summary to link back to this BRfA if you would. Thanks, – Quadell (talk) 13:09, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure thing. Created B/RFB/1 for this purpose. -- Cat chi? 13:46, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
