this topic see wikipedia copying within wikipedia this help page is a how to guide it explains concepts or processes used by the wikipedia community it is not one of wikipedia s policies or guidelines and may reflect varying levels of consensus shortcuts wp secmove wp secmove wp partmove wp partmove this page in a nutshell a section move is the process of splitting some content from a page and merging it into one or more existing pages where it s more relevant the start and end result of a section move a section move is the act of moving a block of content from one page to another it s a mix of wp merge and wp split a section move might be performed when material is off topic on one article but would fit the topic of another when to perform a section move edit you should perform a section move if a page has content that would be better suited on a different article in wikipedia clarification needed if the content is already on that article you should delete the duplicate information or start a discussion if the two pages are similar you should consider merging the two articles procedure edit for an example see wikipedia section moving page a and wikipedia section moving page b shortcut wp prosm wp prosm step 1 create a discussion edit skip to step 5 if making a bold section move create a discussion on the talk page of the page from which the content is to be split include what sections are to be split and what the new page name should be example section move proposal i propose that sections sections be moved to page 2 these sections are more related to the topic of page 2 more reasons here step 2 add notice edit on the page you are removing content from insert if you place it at the top of the page section move from target page sections sections date september 2026 if you place it in the source section sm target page sections sections date september 2026 on the page you are adding content to insert if you place it at the top of the page section move to source page sections sections date september 2026 if you place it in the destination section sm2 source page sections sections date september 2026 you may want to contact contributors with smnotice see the table of relevant templates for section moving the most prominent ones are section move from and section move to which go on the source and target articles respectively step 3 discuss edit the discussion takes place on the talk page of the page the content is being removed from in many cases a hybrid discussion or straw poll is used but remember that polling is not a substitute for discussion example formatting section move agree insert reason for supporting section mover here oppose insert reason for opposing section mover here step 4 close the discussion and determine the consensus edit close the discussion and determine the consensus by using the following section move proposal discussion top result the result of this discussion was to start of discussion end of discussion discussion bottom step 5 move the content edit if the consensus was to move the content then you can do so it is recommended to make a draft sandbox with the new pages to reduce server load and to make sure the pages are readable during the process to perform the merger you may just copy and paste from one article to another including references if some references do not copy over you may need to copy them from elsewhere in the article as they may have been reused when copying or moving content within wikipedia attribution is required this is done by providing an edit summary at the destination page stating where the material came from and providing a wikilink to the source article here is a sample edit summary copied content from source page see that page s history for attribution please see wp copying within wikipedia for more information use special whatlinkshere to detect any inline links that need to be changed in the destination article if the material is still useful to include in the original article you might create a shorter version and include main second article name section at the top step 6 clean up edit during clean up you should check for any spelling errors a copied template can be added to the talk pages of both the source and destination articles you should also remove the notices about the discussion if they were not removed already you may also want to include see also on some sections that were moved progress edit a list of articles that have been tagged for consideration for splitting are at category articles
