- This template will categorize into
Usage: This template is used when you want to propose to move contents from the current category to a <destination category>.
- {{move|<destination category>|<reason>|2024-12-22|<discussion page>}}
- <destination category> is the category where you intend to move the contents of the current category. In the form of Category:NAME. No need for brackets [[]]. Remove the carets <> too. If this isn't supplied a special version of this template {{move?}} is used instead.
- <reason> is optional but highly recommended. Here, you can concisely explain the reason for your proposal. Remove the carets <>. Don't forget to sign it (~~~~).
- 2024-12-22 today's date is optional but recommended. The date the request was made. If the date is missing, the category will end up in Category:Requested moves (date undefined). Format YYYY-MM-DD, today is 2024-12-22.
- <discussion page> is optional. The page where discussion about the move is taking place. In the form of Category talk:NAME. No need for brackets [[]]. Remove the carets <> too. It is highly recommended that a discussion section about the move proposal be started. People may not notice the edit summary about the move proposal in their watchlist. Especially if another edit occurs within a few days with a different edit summary. People oftentimes wait days or more between checking their watchlists. Editors don't check up on every edit, especially if the subsequent edits are from trusted users, or the edit summaries are for edits that don't require checking up on.
