* Click the "move" link at the top of the page.
** Note: sometimes you can see this button only if you put your mouse over the drop-down arrow to the right of the "Edit" and "View History" buttons
** If there is no "move" link at the top of the page, the page is [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|protected]] from moving, and only [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]] can move it. You can ask for the page to be moved at the [[Wikipedia:Requested moves|move request page]].▼
* Enter the new name of the page under "To new title". Give a reason for the move.
* If the page has a discussion page, you will be asked if you want to move that as well; usually, you will.
▲If there is no "move" link at the top of the page, the page is [[Wikipedia:Protection policy|protected]] from moving, and only [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrators]] can move it. You can ask for the page to be moved at the [[Wikipedia:Requested moves|move request page]].
Moving the page will also create a [[Wikipedia:Redirect|redirect]] from the old title to the new title. If you are simply renaming the page, this ensures that links to the page continue to work.
