Hi! A small technical question on the EduProgram extension. A teacher has created a course page with a typo in the name and I've noticed I can't change it. When I click Edit on a course page, I'm only allowed to edit the description text field, start and end dates and the enroll token. There's no fields for the corse name and term. This is the same with other course pages including those I created myself. I have the ep-coordinator user right. How does it work?
Unfortunately, the education extension pages do not function like a normal Wikipedia page. So you actually cannot "move" the pages if there's a mistake in the title. Instead, you'll have to start a new one and delete the current one.
In case it helps, you can edit the individual sections of the page (or go to them to copy & paste into the new page), but you have to do it from the section edit buttons rather than the entire page.
Hope that helps! Jami

Thanks for a quick reply! Maybe we should update the docs at mediawiki.org, because they suggest the page title is editable:
The course page includes editable structured elements for:
Page title (changing this will move the page) Course name (changing this will not move the page, but will change the name that appears on lists of courses such as Special:Courses)

Yes, I vaguely remember a time when that was the case, but I think pages were getting deleted and moved accidentally. Looks like that documentation hasn't been updated in a long time. Maybe one of the Wikimedia Foundation program managers can check into that if they have the capacity.
