Here is how to rename an OpenWetWare page:

1. Click on the tab at the top of the page you want to move.
2. In the To new title: box, enter your new page name.
3. In the Reason box, enter a quick note about the reason. For instance, adherence to OWW naming conventions is a common reason for renaming pages.
4. Click the button.
5. You'll see the message: The page has been moved.

Note that moving a page automatically results in the old page becoming a redirect to the new page. Thus, links to the old page will continue to function.

To change links so that they point directly to the new page, do the following:

1. Go to the new page.
2. Click on the left side of the page under toolbox.
3. You'll be taken to a list of pages that link to the page either directly or via a redirect.
4. You can then visit each of those pages individually and edit the links there so that they point directly to the new page name.
