Template:User page migration

User page migration

This is a friendly notification to say that some of your user pages were moved to use the newer [[User:{{{2}}}]] prefix. For example, [[{{{2}}}/{{{4}}}]] is now accessible by [[User:{{{3}}}/{{{4}}}]]. Any original pages were automatically changed to redirect to the new pages; this is to ensure that no existing links were broken by this change.

Here's a couple links if you wish to review what was done:

• All pages that were under the {{{2}}}/ prefix
• All pages that are now under User:{{{3}}}/ prefix

Please [[User talk:{{{1}}}|let me know]] if you have any questions, and thank you for your patience.

Template documentation [edit]

This documentation is transcluded from Template:User page migration/doc. It will not be transcluded on pages that use this template.

Template:User page migration is a message that notifies users that their pages were migrated from the deprecated "JohnDoe/MyPage" convention to the modern "User:jdoe/MyPage" convention. Use this page if you've moved more than a couple of the user's pages, as it's polite to notify them of their content being changed.

To use this template, provide your username, the old name, and the new name as arguments: {{User page migration|Dafrito|AaronFaanes|dafrito}}. Your username should be in plaintext, and it should be exact. You should also provide an example page to demonstrate what occurred; this can be included as the fourth argument: {{User page migration|Dafrito|AaronFaanes|dafrito|Style guide}}.
