A text move alters the position of text at Wikipedia. It can be done in a single operation within an article or article section.
Text move can also mean that a portion of text is moved to another page, for example to the related talk page. It involves two steps:
- cutting a passage of text from an article;
- pasting the text into the other page.
Editors attempting text moves should not ignore consensus nor copyright obligations under the GFDL nor other guidance (e.g. avoidance of cut and paste moves of pages per WP:MOVE), nor try to force their changes by edit warring.
