Template talk:Rename

New maintenance template
I created this template to fill an apparent gap (and as an exercise). Apologies if it turns out to be redundant. &rArr; Hoopy Froodle (Contribs • Message • Email ) 13:05, July 19, 2019 (EDT)
 * I think it's a good thing. I pulled this trigger recently, changing Sharn -> City of Sharn, based on the principal of action over inaction (that, and 2 disambigs at the top of that page looked cludgey) - but, once done, had second thoughts that maybe indeed I should have put it up for discussion first, if only pro forma. Regardless of that example, I think it's a good option to have. &rArr; C-Hound (Contribs • Message • Email ) 19:02, July 22, 2019 (EDT)
 * I don't oppose the idea of the template, but I think it needs some changes. People shouldn't be posting this template at the top of a page every time they think the name of it is wrong and instead should just move the page 99% of the time instead.  The only reasonable use case I can think of this is if someone renames the page and someone else doesn't like it.  Then the person who doesn't like it should start a discussion on the talk page and if after a little back and forth no compromised/agreement is reached, and only then should such a template be used.  It should read something like " "  The template should then indicate on the DDO:AN/RM or some place similar that there is a discussion that needs assistance (like we do with  using the Merge template).  &#x1f45f;&thinsp;ShoeMaker (Contribs&thinsp;•&thinsp;Message&thinsp;•&thinsp;Email )&thinsp;&#x1f45f; 09:50, July 24, 2019 (EDT)
