Single page move on different talk page[edit]

Occasionally, a move request is made for a page that is not the subject page of the talk page on which the request must be made. An example would be to make a request to rename WP:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources to, say, WP:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing and templates. The talk page of the project page to be moved, WT:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources, redirects to the main subject talk page, WT:WikiProject Articles for creation, to centralize discussions, so that is where the requested move should be made using the following code:

{{subst:requested move |reason=(the reason for the page move goes here). |current1=Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Resources |new1=Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing and templates}}

which creates:

Requested move 29 April 2024

Template:Requested move/dated is not for moves from user space, see Wikipedia:Articles for creation (use {{subst:submit}} instead), or move it yourself

Note that the |1= unnamed parameter is not used, and that the |current1= and |new1= parameters are used similar to multiple page moves.
