Requesting help changing names

Post by kosboot »

I know one can move pages and I thought that one could move incorrect names of composers, etc. But I see one has to be an admin. So I'm requesting two moves of composers:

1. Billy Heagney. The page has the name as Billy, Heagney instead of Heagney, Billy:
https://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Billy,_Heagney

Should be: https://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Heagney,_Billy

2. Antonio Cortis. The page has the name as Cortis, Antonios (I confess this is my error) instead of Cortis, Antonio:
https://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Cortis,_Antonios

Should be: https://imslp.org/wiki/Category:Cortis,_Antonio

Fixed!

If you make an error and spot it after you created the composer's page do this:

1.- Rename the piece you uploaded. The piece of Heagney "Dear old Dixie" has this name first "Dear old Dixie (Bill, Heagney)". Simply change the order of name and last name. you can find the move option in the button "Page". You can use the move option only with work pages or worklists, not with categories.

2.- Cut the info from the wrong named composer page and paste into the corrected composer's page you created by renaming the piece.

3.- Put the template {{delete|}} with the reason why you blanked the page so the admins can delete that page. If you like include a redirection to the corrected page with {{Cat|Last name, Name}}
