The steps for moving a page are as follows:
#With the correct page displayed, click on the "move" tab near the top of the page (in default Monobook skin). You'll be asked for a new name for the page, and given the option to also move the page's talk page (this box should usually be left checked). Complete the "Reason for move" field (which is like an edit summary).
#When ready, click the move button and, if successful, the page will be renamed to the new title. The old title will become a [[Help:Redirect|redirect page]], so any links to the old title will still go to the new page. However, note that double redirects (pages that redirect to the original page), will not automatically follow to the new page, so you will have to refer them manually (as explained at [[:Wikipedia:Double redirects#How to fix a double redirect|How to fix a double redirect]] and [[:Wikipedia:Double redirects#Checking for double redirects|Checking for double redirects]]). However, if you're an [[Wikipedia:Administrators|administrator]], you can move pages without leaving a [[Help:Redirect|redirect]] behind.
#After a successful page move, a page looking like this will be shown: [[MediaWiki:Movepage-moved]].
