	Can/how do I do this? I've found some improperly spelled titles of pages that are listed in categories, but don't know where to go to change their titles, since they're not part of a regular page. I don't want to have to create a new, correct page, and then link there from the incorrect one. I figured it would be faster to ask here than on one of the talk pages, as no one's on...Thanks. ------------------- I'd rather have the Sky...

	If you are a staff member of a wiki that has a misspelled page title, there should be a tab titled Move. If you aren't, you'll need to get in touch with a staff member of that wiki or a wiki admin letting them know of the misspelling and the correct spelling so it can be fixed. ------------------- ZL: it's been a while since I got any.

	To quote directly from MediaWiki quote http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Categories Moving categories Categories cannot be easily moved like other pages. For this reason, category names should be chosen carefully. The easiest way (for those with admin privileges) is to create the new page, delete the old one, and then change the tags in each member of the category (manually or with a bot). However, this loses the page history - not a huge problem when categories are used only for navigation, but when a wiki is structured differently and the category pages contain significant amounts of text, this is undesirable. So, please be careful when naming your Categories as moving them seems to be quite the pain. -------------------

	I hadn't noticed that you can't move them, I probably would have made a big mistake. ---- quote (manually or with a ~~bot~~ Krunal). Fixed. -------------------
