1. Read the article to gain an understanding of the content. Come up with a title for the article that better describes its content.
2. Go to the Toolbox area of the left side navigation area and select: “What links here”. Write down the names of the articles that reference this article.
3. Change the name of the article to the title determined from step 1, using the “Move” command in the Edit bar. (This creates a "redirect.") Enter your reason for the move.
4. Open the articles that reference the article from step 2.
5. Replace the occurrence of the original title in each of the articles referenced with the new name of the article.
6. Go to the "redirect" page (listed at the bottom of the 'What links here' page), and delete redirect page by choosing the delete tab, then put "Title changed and all referencing links updated" in the Summary.
7. When done with the previous step for all references, go back to the main article again and enter in the Summary at the bottom, "Title changed and all referencing links updated." This completes this task.
