 +[[user:Wes]] can set up redirects from the old URL to the new URL. It is highly recommended that you send him a list of the moved pages after moving pages so he can update the list of redirects. The format used is: 
 + 
 +<code> 
 +namespace:old_page1 namespace:new_page1 
 +namespace:old_page2 namespace:new_page2 
 +</code> 
 + 
 +Redirects are not required or used for WIP pages, which are not public.
