Is it at all possible to rename (move) categories? Is it an admin function? The reason I ask is because I wanted to move Category:Images of Felucians to Category:Images of Jungle Felucians, and then Category:Images of Felucians (farmers) to Category:Images of Felucians, to match the articles. However, I could not find a "move" button like there is on regular articles. - Esjs(Talk) 21:59, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
- Due to the way categories work, it's not possible to move them like you would an article. The only way to do it is to create the new category page, change all the links to it, and then get the old page deleted. Larger categories can benefit from a bot for this task, but these are small enough to be tackled manually. I'll get to work on it in a moment.

- 26 edits, 15 minutes, and one interruption later, the move is done. The only thing left to do is to wait for an admin to delete the old farmers category. Master Jonathan — Jedi Council Chambers Friday, October 7, 2011, 03:38 UTC
