[edit] Move to Wikispecies is now Copy to Wikispecies

Per Template_talk:Move_to_Wiktionary#Move_vs._copy, and for reasons I'll explain here, all the "Move to" transwiki templates are being moved to "Copy to". Putting this template in place does not cause an article to be moved, it causes it to be copied. Once copied, the original might be deleted from wikipedia, or it might be rewritten, expanded, etc. Calling this "Move to Wikispecies" will make people who come across the template think that the template will cause the deletion of the article, and lead people to remove the template inappropriately. Giving it the proper name ends that. There are mentions in various articles and help files and such around wikipedia which mention "Move to Wikispecies" which will need to be changed, I will do that after some time has passed, waiting first to see if there is some major disagreement to this change. --Xyzzyplugh 13:03, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
