Hmmm! I think we had a similar problem. We solved ours using just a redirect. Instead of moving the page, you can try a redirect instead. I hope it works. Thanks. On 9/13/12, Wanjau <wanjaustev(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Hello! We made this page [1] on Wikipedia but all the banners on Wikimedia projects are redirecting to our commons planning page [2] which doesn't have concise guidelines on how-to participate. I have tried moving the Wikipedia page to the commons page but with little success since there is a template {{start tab}} (which is not available on commons) we used when creating the Wikipedia page.I know there is a way of importing the template but I do not have the rights to do that. I hope someone on this list can advise on how best to move the content. regards, Stephen. 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_Kenya 2. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2012_in_Kenya _______________________________________________ Wiki Loves Monuments mailing list WikiLovesMonuments(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikilovesmonuments http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org

Thank you all for the help. It is much Appreciated. Banners now redirecting to the Wikipedia page [1]. ./Stephen 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_Kenya On 09/13/2012 11:52 AM, Tomasz W. Kozłowski wrote:

Hi Stephen, there is no need to move the page from the English Wikipedia to Commons, it's too much unnecessary work. I solved this problem the other way round, by changing the banners to link to your page on the English Wikipedia, and the change should be visible in a few minutes' time. Thanks,
