[edit] Discussion

This is per the absence of opposition to a now stale discussion at Wikipedia talk:Featured picture candidates#Page name of the nominations. -- 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)
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)
Approved for trial. 20 moves. Mr.Z-man 00:35, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
