Module:Requested move

This module is rated as ready for general use. It has reached a mature form and is thought to be relatively bug-free and ready for use wherever appropriate. It is ready to mention on help pages and other Wikipedia resources as an option for new users to learn. To reduce server load and bad output, it should be improved by sandbox testing rather than repeated trial-and-error editing. |
This module implements {{requested move}}. Please see the template pages for documentation.

-- To iterate over the current1, new1, current2, new2, ... arguments

-- The "num" field is used to correctly preserve the number of the parameter
-- that was used, in case users skip any numbers in the invocation.
--
-- The current1 parameter is a special case, as it does not need to be
-- specified. To avoid clashes with later current parameters, we need to
-- add it to the args table manually.
--
-- Also, we allow the first positional parameter to be an alias for the
-- new1 parameter, so that the syntax for the old templates
-- {{requested move}} and {{move-multi}} will both be supported.
--
-- The "multi" variable tracks whether we are using the syntax previously
-- produced by {{requested move}}, or the syntax previously produced by
-- {{move-multi}}. For the former, multi is false, and for the latter it is
-- true.
