When fixing the broken titled pages, you should use the "Move" tool found under the "More ˅" menu next to the edit button. Do not copy all the contents of a page and paste them into a new page; not only is this much more work, it also causes breaks in page histories that might cause further issues down the line. --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 20:50, 14 January 2023 (UTC) | |||

Welcome to IMFDB
Before you do any editing please take the time to read the Rules, Standards and Principles. This is a very important document that explains how this website is setup as well as telling you what is and isn't allowed. If it is determined by an admin that you have not read these rules, your account will be suspended. Continued non-compliance may result in a permanent ban. After that you should also read the IMFDB Screencapping Guide and the IMFDB Style Guide to familiarize yourself with the image and formatting requirements for pages you create.
There are a number of pages that desperately need your help. You can find these Incomplete pages here.
If you have any questions, feel free to post them here but make sure to sign your post by typing --~~~~.
Finally, IMFDB has a forum set up here that is only available to registered members. There is lots of good stuff to see there. If you would like to join the forum, please post HERE and an account will be created for you.
Now, HAPPY EDITING! bunni (talk) 15:03, 13 July 2019 (EDT)

101st Airborne:
Naming
I'm sorry, but you misunderstand IMFDB naming. The rule is following:
"Titles that begin with "The" should have the "The" moved to the rear (for example, Departed, The, rather than The Departed.) A common move is to create the page with the "The" in front, then move the page later to create a redirect. Titles that begin with "A" should be left as is."
So the page must be named President's Analyst, The, as you created it, and The President's Analyst would be a redirect.

- You may just copy-paste the code from "The Title" to "Title, The" and then put redirect code on "The Title". No need to delete any of these pages.--Greg-Z (talk) 01:02, 13 September 2021 (EDT)
Please don't perform cut-and-paste page moves
When fixing the broken titled pages, you should use the "Move" tool found under the "More ˅" menu next to the edit button. Do not copy all the contents of a page and paste them into a new page; not only is this much more work, it also causes breaks in page histories that might cause further issues down the line. --Wuzh (talk) 20:50, 14 January 2023 (UTC)
