{{cot|bg= #EEEEEE|border= 2px|b-color= #0000FF|Round Robin Instructions}}

Hello FlightTime. Most all of the pagemovers at WP:RM/TR use User:Ahecht/Scripts/pageswap to do round-robin swaps, rather than manually moving B → C then A → B then C → A. This allows the whole swaps to be done from Special:MovePage, so you can just click the "move" link on a technical request and it will put relevant information into the edit summary (a permanent link to the request, who requested it, and what the reason given was) then you just need to click the "Swap" link in the red box on the move page to bring up the swap form. For example this move includes "{{tq|Requested by Omnis Scientia at WP:RM/TR: It is a list of cemeteries; also matches article name of List of Jewish cemeteries in New York City.}}" This makes it much easier for people looking at an article's history to see the rationale for the move (compared to a "{{tq|Perform requested technical move (WP:RMTR)}}" edit summary).

:{{re|SilverLocust}} thank you very much for the poke, I have the script installed, tried it but got confused with the UI, but your walk through helped. Will be using it from now on. Again thanx. Cheers, - FlightTime (open channel) 13:46, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

To explain further, this is the link at WP:RM/TR that you can click on to get the descriptive move summary:

{{quotebox|align=center|text=

• {{Visible anchor|XUW|text=Wikipedia:Template editor/sandbox → [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SilverLocust/sandbox/a&redirect=no User:SilverLocust/sandbox/a] (currently a redirect back to Wikipedia:Template editor/sandbox) ([https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:MovePage&wpOldTitle=Wikipedia%3ATemplate+editor%2Fsandbox&wpNewTitle=User%3ASilverLocust%2Fsandbox%2Fa&wpReason=%5B%5BSpecial%3APermalink%2F1241724682%23XUW%7CRequested%5D%5D+by+SilverLocust+at+%5B%5BWP%3ARM%2FTR%5D%5D%0A%3A+This+is+a+test.&wpMovetalk=1 move] · [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Template_editor/sandbox&action=edit&editintro=Template:RMassist/editintro§ion=new&preloadtitle=Requested+move+22+August+2024&preload=Template:RMassist/preload&preloadparams%5b%5d=User%3ASilverLocust%2Fsandbox%2Fa&preloadparams%5b%5d=This+is+a+test.&preloadparams%5b%5d=%26%2332%3B%5B%5BUser%3ASilverLocust%7CSilverLocust%5D%5D%26nbsp%3B%5B%5BUser+talk%3ASilverLocust%7C%F0%9F%92%AC%5D%5D+20%3A04%2C+22+August+2024+%28UTC%29&preloadparams%5b%5d=1241724682%23XUW discuss]) – This is a test.

}}

Then it should show the following message, where you can click the "Swap" link:

{{quotebox|align=center|text=

}}

Then it will have the more helpful move summary loaded:

Requested by SilverLocust at WP:RM/TR: This is a test.

Which would result in the following edit summary in the page history:

{{quotebox|align=center|text=

• FlightTime moved page Wikipedia:Template editor/sandbox to User:SilverLocust/sandbox/a without leaving a redirect: Requested by SilverLocust at WP:RM/TR: This is a test. (using Pageswap GUI)

}}

Which includes (1) the permanent link back to the request, (2) the name of the user who requested it, and (3) the rationale they provided. SilverLocust 💬 21:04, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
