In Bharatpedia, a page can usually be renamed if the already-existing title is incorrect or needs to be changed; this is called moving a page. A page may also be moved to another namespace without changing the base title—for example, a userspace draft may be moved to article space. Autoconfirmed rights are required for page moving but you may request a page move below if you are not yet autoconfirmed, if there is a technical barrier to the move, or if the retitling is expected to be controversial and you need to seek consensus for the name change. | In Bharatpedia, a page can usually be renamed if the already-existing title is incorrect or needs to be changed; this is called moving a page.
