Why change the title?

There are several reasons you may want to change the title of the reference. Perhaps there is a misspelling in the title, or it was entered in an incorrect format. In any event, it is important to note that the reference structure within OpenEI is complex and references may be linked to and from many other pages. Before making any changes, please make sure there is a valid reason to do so and that changing the reference will not disrupt existing semantic relationships.

When the reference page was first created the reference title was derived from the text originally entered in the Reference Form. The reference title that was entered in the form also became the wiki page name. In order to change the title, the reference page must be moved. Here's how:

Example

In this example, let's consider that a book title was entered but what we really needed was a book section, which requires a different title structure.

From the reference page that you wish to edit, go to Page Actions and select Move.
A new form will appear that allows the changes to be entered.
Enter the new title here, and please provide a reason for why the page is being moved.
Click the Move Page button. A move successful screen will be displayed. Click the link for your new page to continue.
The page name will now reflect the new one you entered (this can be verified in the browser URL, openei.org/wiki/Example_Book;_Example_Section_1).
Although the page has been successfully moved, you may notice that the new title is not displaying on the reference page, or in the citation. This is because the name is derived automatically from the page name, and can occasionally take a few minutes to "catch up" with the move. To expedite this process, you can go to Page Actions and select Refresh.

If you were only changing the title you're done. However, if the document type needs to be changed, please continue reading.

In most cases, the document type will not have to be changed. If there is valid reason for changing it, as in our example above, then additional effort should be made to edit the updated page after it has been moved, using the Edit With Form button, to ensure all fields are entered correctly.

When we changed a Book to a Book Section the title is not the only thing that needs to be updated...
For a proper citation to be constructed we need to add the book section or chapter again, in the appropriate field...
Then we add the editor(s), if available...
And, we need to update the Pages field to reflect the section we are referencing.

Almost all cases of a document type changing will require additional steps to make sure the updated fields are completed correctly. These changes will be dependent on the new document type. Please be sure to go over all fields to make sure they are entered correctly.
