Reason: Add procedures for creating/moving/deleting pages, moving categories, etc. (Discuss in Help talk:Procedures (简体中文)#)

A collection of check lists to be used when performing complex changes to articles.

## Split section to a new subpage

This procedure is useful when moving a section of an article that has become too long to a subpage of that article.

1. Open the origin article section in an editor.
2. Copy the entire section content.
3. Open the destination subpage in another editor.
4. Paste the copied content in the destination editor without modifications.
5. Save the destination subpage with an edit summary like "content split from 'Origin article#Section'", where 'Origin article#Section' is an internal link.
6. In the origin editor, replace the split content with a link to the destination subpage either leaving the section heading in place, or adding a link to the Related articles box of the article.
7. Save the origin page with an edit summary like "content moved to 'Destination subpage'" where 'Destination subpage' is an internal link.
8. Re-open the destination subpage in an editor.
9. Categorize the destination subpage like the origin article.
10. Add a link to the origin article at the top, for example "See 'Origin article' for the main article", where 'Origin article' is an internal link.
11. Adapt the levels of the headings of the new subpage to start from the second level.
12. Save the destination subpage with a proper edit summary.

Further advanced additional steps:

- Check and fix any broken links to sections in both the origin and destination pages.

## Fix double redirects

1. Read this section to understand what redirects are.
2. Check out Special:DoubleRedirects to see if there are any.
3. For example, if you see `Pastebin Clients (Edit) →‎ Common Applications →‎ List of applications`, it means Pastebin Clients redirects to Common Applications, and Common Applications redirects to List of applications. Therefore, Pastebin Clients is a double redirect.
4. To fix it, edit Pastebin Clients and change `#REDIRECT [[Common Applications]]` to `#REDIRECT [[List of applications]]` to skip the middleman.
5. Enter an edit summary such as `Fixed double redirect` and save.
