To rename an article:
- Click the move tab at the top of the article.
- Fill in the new article name and the reason for the rename.
- Click Move page.
This moves the content of the article and of its talk page (and its edit history) to the new title and changes the old article to a redirect to the new article.
Do not copy and paste content from an old article into an empty new article; this loses all of the edit history.
