Request for move
The following discussion has been moved from Wiktionary:Requests for moves, mergers and splits.
This discussion is no longer live and is left here as an archive. Please do not modify this conversation, but feel free to discuss its conclusions.
These shouldn't be in the reserved 3-letter language code space (ISO could still assign them). We could move them to {{rfrom}} and {{rfmms}} (though I doubt we need this last one as we should encourage the more specific ones). --Bequw → τ 02:14, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
- I don't disagree, but we also have
{{rfd}},{{rfv}}and{{rfc}}. --Mglovesfun (talk) 10:16, 11 October 2011 (UTC)- Some people thought those should be "grandfathered" in as they've been around for a while. Though I'd support moving them too. --Bequw → τ 01:30, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
{{rfm}} and {{move}} are identical AFAICT, in which case I suggest one be made a redirect to the other, though I don't care which. We can worry about the ISO codes if and when the time comes. These are not like {{see}} (which we also dealt with when the time came), which is meant to be on many pages: these are on pagesonly temporarily, so there'll never be more then N of them for some number N. So I don't think we need to worry about ISO codes.—msh210℠ (talk) 02:13, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
- Not identical, we have
{{move}},{{merge}}and{{split}}, this template attempts to cover all three. NB,{{rfe}},{{rfi}}. Mglovesfun (talk) 06:37, 13 October 2011 (UTC)
- Because we are moving to use a module, rather than templates, to store language codes, there is no longer a danger that these templates will conflict with language codes. Thus, they shoudl be able to stay where they are. Cheers, - -sche (discuss) 17:20, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
Language code for pages outside mainspace
It seems strange to me that this template requires a language code when it is meant to be used both in and out of mainspace. What would be the appropriate language code to give, for example, if an RFM were created for Wiktionary:Concordances? Or Template:mention? Using mul (translingual) in all such cases feels to me like a clunky workaround rather than being useful. - excarnateSojourner (talk | contrib) 00:53, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
- Well, the documentation says to use

Not working as documented
The target ("move-to") doesn't appear if specified in section= or fragment= and doesn't appear if they are not specified. DCDuring (talk) 18:37, 14 September 2023 (UTC)
