Hiya Kirkburn!

Because the move/rename function in the MediaWiki namespace is now locked to us, I cannot effect this update. Therefore, would you please perform the following move/rename for us at Special:MovePage:

Move the following: to this location: You may wonder why one doesn’t just directly edit. Well, the system always reports the menu as being too wide at some level or other, when it is just fine. I think what is occurring is that instead of counting only the characters to the right of “pipes” (on those lines that are piped), it is counting all the characters on those lines. So, I learned a long time ago that performing the move function outlined above sidesteps the erroneous error report that prevents a direct save from the editor when editing the Wiki-navigation directly.

As for the changes, I am swapping the first two tabs – Wiki and Navigation – so that the presentation of menu choices for IP-only editors is more useful to them. Note that since it is merely a swapping of tabs, all line lengths are the same as the currently functioning Wiki-navigation.

This is very much appreciated. &mdash; Spike  Toronto  23:24, December 7, 2016 (UTC)
