{{Old move}}
{{Oldmoves}}
{{Past moves}}

This is a versatile talk page banner to elaborate the history of previous moves and move proposals.

Usage

{{Old move| small = yes/no| collapse = yes/no| date = <date when the request was opened>| from = <original title of the article> | destination = <proposed title>| result = <result of the discussion>| link = <permanent link to the discussion>| title = <title of the page whose move logs should be shown>| list = <bulleted list>| oldlist = <bulleted list>}}

Full example.

Parameters

small: The option "small = yes" generates a smaller, and right-aligned version of the template.
collapse or collapsed: Collapses all discussions and logs.
date1, date2, date3...: Date when the request was opened.
from1, from2, from3...: Original name of the article when the request was opened. May be omitted if the article was not moved.
destination1, destination2, destination3...: Proposed title or the page title that ended up being moved to. Alias: to.
result1, result2, result3...: Result of the discussion. Usually 'moved', 'not moved' or 'no consensus'.
link1, link2, link3...: Link to the revision where the discussion was closed. It should preferably link to the section where the discussion was held. Do not add brackets.
title1, title2, title3...: Used to list move logs.
list: A bulleted list that allows editors to list discussions and undiscussed moves manually.
oldlist: Same as list, but designed to hold older move debates. Collapsed by default.

Note: Parameters may be used without the number if there is only one move.

Examples

Single move

No parameters

Using this template without parameters is extremely unhelpful and not recommended.

{{Old move}}

Full example

{{Old move|date=1 January 1970 |from=Source |destination=Destination |result=moved |link=Special:PermanentLink/1234567}}

Multiple moves

All parameters can be enumerated (|from2=, |link3= and so on) to add multiple entries. (BUG: result1 needs to be defined to work.)

{{Old move |from1 = A |destination1 = B |result1 = not moved |from2 = C |destination2 = D |result2 = moved|date2 = {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

Small version

{{Old move |small = yes |from1 = A |destination1 = B |result1 = not moved |from2 = C |destination2 = D |result2 = Move |date2 = {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}}}

Collapsed version

{{Old move|collapsed=yes|date=1 January 1970 |from=Source |destination=Destination |result=moved |link=Special:PermanentLink/1234567}}
