'''In the GCpedia context, the terms “move” and “rename” are synonymous'''. You can '''rename a page''' by moving it.
There are several reasons why you might wish to rename a page:
*the title has been misspelled.
*the title does not follow GCpedia’s [[Help:Page naming|naming conventions]]
*the scope of the article has been reduced, extended or otherwise changed
*to establish a subpage hierarchy

== Why should I move/rename a page, instead of creating a new one? ==
Instead of cutting and pasting the contents of the older article into a newly created article, using the move tab has the following advantages:
*The history and discussion pages are preserved with the move.
*All other pages that link to it will be automatically redirected to the newly named page.
== To move a page: ==
*Log in
*Go to the page you want to move
*Click the move tab at the top of the article
*Type the new name for the page
*Choose whether you also want to move the page's talk page (usually you will)
*Indicate why you are moving the page
*Click the "move page" button and the page will be renamed to the new title
