Hi I am trying to change the name of an article, since the persons name is spelled wrong. The name appears correct in the article, but not in the headline.
Do you know how to change this? --Mjohnsen83 (talk) 18:58, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Mjohnsen83The move option appears below the toolbar.
A common example: performing a requested move. Note that the intended article name is entered without any prefixes.To move a page:
Navigate to the page that you want to move. There is no need to click "Edit".
Locate the "Move" option in a drop-down menu at the top right of the screen, labelled "Tools".
Click the "Move" option, and fill in the details of your move.
In the first text box, enter the new name of the page (and its namespace).
Give a reason for the move, which is like an edit summary. Although this isn't required, it will decrease the likelihood of the move being challenged.
Keep the option to also move the page's talk page enabled, except in certain circumstances. (It only appears if the page has a talk page.)
Click the Move page button.
You did it! If the move is successful, the page will be moved to the new title and you will see a message saying "The page has been moved to ...". The old title will become a redirect, so links to the old title will still go to the new page. Successful moves are recorded in the move log; if there had been a discussion about the move, it can be useful to copy the automatic move summary in a new comment in the discussion.
If you expect the move to be controversial or if you encounter a technical barrier, you can request that someone else move the page at Wikipedia:Requested moves. Please also keep in mind that sometimes the name of an article may be different from what you think it should be, please keep in mind that Wikipedia uses the subject's common name. veko.

Starting on November 4, the IP addresses of logged-out editors are no longer being publicly displayed. Instead, they will have a temporary account associated with their edits.
Administrators will now find that Special:MergeHistory is now significantly more flexible about what it can merge. It can now merge sections taken from the middle of the history of the source (rather than only the start) and insert revisions anywhere in the history of the destination page (rather than only the start).

An Articles for Creation backlog drive is happening in December 2025, with over 1,000 drafts awaiting review from the past two months. In addition to AfC participants, all administrators and new page patrollers can help review using the Yet Another AFC Helper Script, which can be enabled in the Gadgets settings.

Weekly highlight
Anybody who wishes to secure their user account can now use two-factor authentication (2FA). This is available to all registered users of all Wikimedia projects. This is part of the Account Security initiative. Later, 2FA will be required for all users who can take security- or privacy-sensitive actions.
Updates for editors
Following last week's deployments, the Add a link feature, which allows editors to add suggested links during editing, will be available to an additional 33 Wikipedias starting on 9 December. This expansion is possible thanks to the new prediction model that now supports all languages, including those that were previously not covered. While the feature has been available on most Wikipedias for some time, this rollout brings us closer to using the improved model everywhere. If you have any questions or would like more details please contact Trizek (WMF).
Last week, the Search Platform team added transliterated as-you-type search suggestions to Georgian wikis. If there are only a few regular search suggestions, then queries in Latin or Cyrillic script are now rewritten into Georgian script to look for more matches. For example, searching for either bedniereba or бедниереба will now suggest the existing article about ბედნიერება ("happiness"). You can recommend other languages where transliterated suggestions would be useful on Phabricator for future development.
Later this week, a controlled experiment will begin for editors on the 100 largest Wikipedias who are editing a section in the mobile web visual editor. 50% of these editors will notice a new "Edit full page" button that will enable them to expand their editing session to the whole page. This feature is intended to make it easier for people on mobile web to edit any article section, regardless of which section-edit icon they tapped to begin. The experiment will last ~4 weeks. You can find more details about the project.
Later this week, the Reader Growth team will launch a mobile web experiment to expand all article sections by default (currently they are collapsed by default) and pin the section header the user is currently reading to the top of the page. The experiment will affect 10% of users on Arabic, Chinese, French, Indonesian, and Vietnamese Wikipedias. [1]
The Wikipedia Year in Review 2025, a feature in the Wikipedia mobile apps (iOS and Android) that provides users with a personalised summary of their engagement with Wikipedia over the year, is now available on the iOS and Android apps. This edition includes expanded personalised insights, improved reading highlights, new donor messaging, and updated designs. Open the app to view your Year in Review and explore your reading journey from 2025.
A recent software bug caused edits made with VisualEditor to make unintended changes to wikitext, including removing whitespace and replacing spaces with underscores in wikilinks inside citations. This was partially fixed last week, and further fixes are in progress. Editors who used VisualEditor between November 28 and December 2 should review their edits for unexpected modifications. [2]

Updates for technical contributors
Starting this week, users of the "Improved Syntax Highlighting" beta feature will have CodeMirror as the editor for Lua, JavaScript, CSS, JSON and Vue content models, instead of CodeEditor. With this, the linters will be upgraded. This is part of a larger effort to eventually replace CodeEditor and provide a consistent code editing experience. [4]
Developers are encouraged to take the 2025 Developer Satisfaction Survey, which remains open until 5 January 2026. If you build software for the Wikimedia ecosystem and would like to share your experiences or feedback, your participation is greatly appreciated. [5]
