Full example.

Parameters

• small: The option "small = yes" generates a smaller, and right-aligned version of the template.
• collapse or collapsed: Collapses all discussions and logs.
• date1, date2, date3...: Date when the request was opened.
• from1, from2, from3...: Original name of the article when the request was opened. May be omitted if the article was not moved.
• destination1, destination2, destination3...: Proposed title or the page title that ended up being moved to. Alias: to.
• result1, result2, result3...: Result of the discussion. Usually 'moved', 'not moved' or 'no consensus'.
• link1, link2, link3...: Link to the revision where the discussion was closed. It should preferably link to the section where the discussion was held. Do not add brackets.
• title1, title2, title3...: Used to list move logs.
• list: A bulleted list that allows editors to list discussions and undiscussed moves manually.
• oldlist: Same as list, but designed to hold older move debates. Collapsed by default.

Note: Parameters may be used without the number if there is only one move.

Examples

Single move

No parameters

Using this template without parameters is extremely unhelpful and not recommended.

{{Old move}}

Full example

{{Old move
|date=1 January 1970 |from=Source |destination=Destination |result=moved |link=Special:PermanentLink/1234567
}}

Multiple moves

All parameters can be enumerated (|from2=, |link3= and so on) to add multiple entries. (BUG: result1 needs to be defined to work.)

{{Old move 
|from1        = A 
|destination1 = B 
|result1      = not moved 
|from2        = C 
|destination2 = D 
|result2      = moved
|date2        = {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}
}}

Small version

{{Old move 
|small        = yes 
|from1        = A 
|destination1 = B 
|result1      = not moved 
|from2        = C 
|destination2 = D 
|result2      = Move 
|date2        = {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}
}}

Collapsed version

{{Old move
|collapsed=yes
|date=1 January 1970 |from=Source |destination=Destination |result=moved |link=Special:PermanentLink/1234567
}}
