The result of the move request was: '''Moved'''. There appears to be a consensus on moving this to the proposed title, and as such applying common sense, it would not been good to keep this request open unnecessarily. However, moving the module requires technical help which has been sought at relevant venues, at RMT and the [[WP:RFHM]] respectively.  ─ [[User:TheAafi|<span style="color:SteelBlue">The Aafī</span>]] [[User talk:TheAafi|<span style="color:#80A0FF">(talk)</span>]] 15:24, 5 February 2023 (UTC) <small>(Modified closing statement at 16:13, 5 February 2023 (UTC))</small>

:This module is not {{tl|annotated link}}; that template invokes this module, just as any other template could and indeed might. This module may and in fact probably will be required by other modules. This module and {{tlc|annotated link}} are separate entities and the renaming of this module to fall in line with that template is nonsensical. I however don't disagree with the proposed new name but consider changing it pointless. <code style="background:#DFF;white-space:pre">[[User:Fred Gandt|Fred Gandt]] · [[User talk:Fred Gandt|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Fred Gandt|contribs]]</code> 07:32, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
:'''Support'''. The template is just a wrapper for the module, both should be titled the same. Also [[WP:TPN]]. [[User:Gonnym|Gonnym]] ([[User talk:Gonnym|talk]]) 11:33, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
:I can't see any reasonable argument ever existing against the proposed new name and need to edit the documentation after some changes, so can we cut to the chase and move it before I do the editing work? I ''can'' move it, but it may be desired to let this procedure run its course. <code style="background:#DFF;white-space:pre">[[User:Fred Gandt|Fred Gandt]] · [[User talk:Fred Gandt|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Fred Gandt|contribs]]</code> 13:11, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

:::Super. As an editor who rarely moves pages, and having been surprised before; will a redirect be left behind? <code style="background:#DFF;white-space:pre">[[User:Fred Gandt|Fred Gandt]] · [[User talk:Fred Gandt|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Fred Gandt|contribs]]</code> 15:06, 4 February 2023 (UTC)
:::: Unfortunately, moving modules does not leave a redirect. You have to either manually create one (using the wikitext <syntaxhighlight lang="lua" inline>return require("Module:Annotated link")</syntaxhighlight> or update all uses (of which there [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=insource%3A%2FAnnotatedLink%2F++hastemplate%3AModule%3AAnnotatedLink&title=Special:Search&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1&ns1=1&ns2=1&ns3=1&ns4=1&ns5=1&ns6=1&ns7=1&ns8=1&ns9=1&ns10=1&ns11=1&ns12=1&ns13=1&ns14=1&ns15=1&ns100=1&ns101=1&ns118=1&ns119=1&ns710=1&ns711=1&ns828=1&ns829=1&ns2300=1&ns2301=1&ns2302=1&ns2303=1 aren't very many]). I'd be happy to do either for you if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself.

:::::I had a feeling it wouldn't be as simple as it should be; erring on the side of caution pays off. I created a clone at [[Module:Annotated link]] and switched the template use it, requested protection (already applied thanks to {{u|Favonian}}) and will work through tidying up the references and links (some done). I'm sure that's not ''the right way'', but it worked i.e. nothing broke. <code style="background:#DFF;white-space:pre">[[User:Fred Gandt|Fred Gandt]] · [[User talk:Fred Gandt|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Fred Gandt|contribs]]</code> 18:42, 4 February 2023 (UTC)

'''Note for closer:''' since the move target already exists (now) and is a functional, protected module in high use, and I am the only significant editor of this module (other than when User:Favonian protected it) and the replacement, and the development history is not vital for understanding the function, it might be best to close as not moved, and I'll tag it for speedy deletion with {{tl|Db-g7}} (pretty sure) once I've orphaned it. Right now, because of this move discussion, this module shows up transcluded all over the place where it shouldn't be, which really isn't helping. <code style="background:#DFF;white-space:pre">[[User:Fred Gandt|Fred Gandt]] · [[User talk:Fred Gandt|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Fred Gandt|contribs]]</code> 10:45, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
:: I requested a [[WP:RFHM|history merge]]. If that's declined (sometimes people there don't like history merging one-author pages), feel free to G7. [[User:Pppery|* Pppery *]] [[User talk:Pppery|<sub style="color:#800000">it has begun...</sub>]] 15:14, 5 February 2023 (UTC)

I believe everything important has now been cleaned up. If you want the page currently at [[Module:AnnotatedLink]] (a soft redirect) to be deleted, feel free to tag it for speedy deletion (but [[WP:CSD#Pages that need to be tagged in a special manner|modules have to be tagged using special syntax]]). I have no opinion on the matter, and am sorry that this turned into a much greater mess that I expected.

::{{u|Pppery}}, if there's no problems with the move I'll remove the discussion on RMT.
