Script error: No such module "Distinguish". Template:Template shortcut Script error: No such module "redirect hatnote". Template:Transclusionless

Purpose

Renaming, or moving a page, might result in double redirects pointing to the original article name which need to be fixed. It could also make it necessary for other changes to be made to an article's content so that it aligns properly with the new title. In some cases where such changes are not immediately made at the time of page move, a notice may be beneficial to prevent confusion.

Usage

This template adds a message box to an article in order to inform editors and readers of the article's recent name change. It should remain at the top of the page at least until any obvious or major incongruences are fixed.

Place the following wikitext at the top of an article: Template:Tlc

Parameters

There are only two parameters for this template, but both are required:

  • |from= (or |old=) should be the original title of the article it was moved from. The double-bracket enclosure (i.e. [[Article name]] format) is not needed, the template does it automatically.
  • |date= takes the current month and year and adds it at the end of the template for reference. (Ex: |date=December 2020)

TemplateData

Template:TemplateData header

Adds a message box to an article informing editors and readers of a recent title change. Renaming (or page moving) may require additional edits to be made to an article's content and/or redirects to the original article name. This template should be removed once the necessary fixes are complete.

Template parameters

This template prefers inline formatting of parameters.
