Navigate to a talk page with the requested move that you want to close or relist. At the top of the requested move, click the "Close", "Relist", or "Notify WikiProjects" button, depending on the action you are doing. If you click "Close", then select the result of the discussion, add an optional closing comment, and click "submit".

If you select "Moved" it will present you with two check boxes:

1. Close as uncontested
2. Specify different title

Close as uncontested provides a default close summary and modified edit summary for moves that receive no participation. Specify different title provides a list of proposed moves, and allows the closer to specify targets different from the ones initially proposed.

If you click "Relist", add a relisting comment and confirm by clicking "Confirm relist". If you click "Notify WikiProjects", select a WikiProject from the list of WikiProjects with banners on the page, and click "Notify selected WikiProject".

Navigate to any page and from the "More" drop-down list select "Move+". You will be presented with three options:

• Move pages
• Retarget page links
• Open requested move

If you select "Move pages", fill in the moves, enter an explanation and click "Submit". The explanation will be used for the edit summary and for any technical requests submitted.

If you select "Retarget page links" fill in one or two pairs of links to retarget, enter an explanation that will be used for the edit summary and click "Submit". Edits will begin immediately, with the screen displaying the current progress.

If you select "Open requested moves", fill in the moves you propose and click "Submit". The explanation will be used for the move request.

After submitting the close or the list of moves it will present you with a list of valid options for each move. These can include:

1. Move directly
2. Move via Round Robin
3. Submit a technical request

If you submit a technical request it will automatically place the move in the correct section; "Uncontroversial technical requests" or "Administrator needed".

It will also present you with a list of valid sub-options for each move. These can include:

1. Suppress redirect
2. Move subpages
3. Move talk page

You will also see some information about the target page, including any protections it has, and whether it has had more than one revision.

Move+ includes support for round robin moves, including the post-move cleanup. For this cleanup, it makes the following assumptions:

• Redirects that target themselves should target the page they were moved from
• Redirects that target pages other than themselves should continue to target that page
• Unless the location is now occupied:
  • All pages that were moved should be targeted with a redirect from their previous location
  • All redirects that were moved should have a duplicate redirect created in their previous location

These assumptions can be changed; editors who disagree with them should open a discussion on the talk page.

Move+ allows for moves to be actioned with a single click, by selecting "Move all". If selecting it will implement every listed move, with the currently specified sub-options. These are rate limited to prevent rejection by the system; 8 moves per minute for most editors, 16 moves per minute for page movers, 40 moves per minute for admins.

Most users will have only one option for each move and this will be the action chosen. For some moves admins will have two; to overwrite a page with history, or to move via a round robin. If "Move all" is selected the system will move the pages via a round robin.

Move+ includes support for correcting page links following round robin moves that don't result in redirects to new title. It will update links within the namespace the page was moved from, as well as category and template namespace. However, it will not update links within archives.

It is hard limited to twenty edits per minute, but will normally operate at a lower rate.

It currently cannot update most links that are not within square brackets, such as {{main|Page Title}}, with the exception of links within reference parameters like author-link, editor-link, etc. The rest still need to be updated manually.

Warning: This functionality can result in edits to hundreds of pages. Ensure you have configured it correctly and monitor it as it progresses.

• 19/05/2024 - Script handles page-move rate limit, but does not handle API rate limit or edit rate limit.
  • 28/05/2024 - Script now partially handles edit rate limit
• 21/07/2024 - Script fails when asked to move to a title starting with a lower case letter
• 9/9/2024 - When I have been using Move+ to move Ben Grimm link back to Thing (comics) there was a point where it stalled. First, it was at Baron Strucker causing me to manually correct it and then it stalled at Michael Chilklis. I am asking for someone to deal with this stall.

  • Failing to add multiple technical requests when clicking "move all", see this edit
• 9/4/2026 - When closing moves at pages with unusual forms of the "Old moves" template, such as when it uses the "list" parameter, Move+ will overwrite the old entries. See this edit.
