Hello FlightTime. Most all of the pagemovers at [[WP:RM/TR]] use [[User:Ahecht/Scripts/pageswap]] to do round-robin swaps, rather than manually moving B&nbsp;&rightarrow;&nbsp;C then A&nbsp;&rightarrow;&nbsp;B then C&nbsp;&rightarrow;&nbsp;A. This allows the whole swaps to be done from [[Special:MovePage]], so you can just click the "move" link on a technical request and it will put relevant information into the edit summary (a permanent link to the request, who requested it, and what the reason given was) then you just need to click the "Swap" link in the red box on the move page to bring up the swap form. For example [[Special:Diff/1241147252|this move]] includes "{{tq|[[Special:Permalink/1241146241#V3I|Requested]] by Omnis Scientia at [[WP:RM/TR]]: It is a list of cemeteries; also matches article name of [[List of Jewish cemeteries in New York City]].}}" This makes it much easier for people looking at an article's history to see the rationale for the move (compared to a "{{tq|Perform requested technical move ([[WP:RMTR]])}}" edit summary).

:{{re|SilverLocust}} thank you very much for the poke, I have the script installed, tried it but got confused with the UI, but your walk through helped. Will be using it from now on. Again thanx.

To explain further, this is the link at [[WP:RM/TR]] that you can click on to get the descriptive move summary:
{{quotebox|align=center|text=
* {{Visible anchor|XUW|text=<b>[[Wikipedia:Template editor/sandbox]]</b>&nbsp;<b>→</b>&nbsp;<b><span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:SilverLocust/sandbox/a&redirect=no User:SilverLocust/sandbox/a]</span></b>&nbsp;<small>(currently a redirect back to [[Wikipedia:Template editor/sandbox]])</small> <span class="plainlinks" style="font-size:95%;"><big>(<b><u><mark>[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:MovePage&wpOldTitle=Wikipedia%3ATemplate+editor%2Fsandbox&wpNewTitle=User%3ASilverLocust%2Fsandbox%2Fa&wpReason=%5B%5BSpecial%3APermalink%2F1241724682%23XUW%7CRequested%5D%5D+by+SilverLocust+at+%5B%5BWP%3ARM%2FTR%5D%5D%0A%3A+This+is+a+test.&wpMovetalk=1 move]</mark></u></b>&nbsp;<b>·</b> [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Template_editor/sandbox&action=edit&editintro=Template:RMassist/editintro&section=new&preloadtitle=Requested+move+22+August+2024&preload=Template:RMassist/preload&preloadparams%5b%5d=User%3ASilverLocust%2Fsandbox%2Fa&preloadparams%5b%5d=This+is+a+test.&preloadparams%5b%5d=%26%2332%3B%5B%5BUser%3ASilverLocust%7CSilverLocust%5D%5D%26nbsp%3B%5B%5BUser+talk%3ASilverLocust%7C%F0%9F%92%AC%5D%5D+20%3A04%2C+22+August+2024+%28UTC%29&preloadparams%5b%5d=1241724682%23XUW discuss])</big></span>&nbsp;– This is a test. [[User:SilverLocust|SilverLocust]]&nbsp;[[User talk:SilverLocust|💬]] 20:24, 22 August 2024 (UTC)}}
}}
Then it should show the following message, where you can click the "Swap" link:
{{quotebox|align=center|text=
<div class="mw-message-box cdx-message cdx-message--block mw-message-box-error cdx-message--error"><span class="cdx-message__icon"></span><div class="cdx-message__content">
<p>The page could not be moved, for the following reason:</p>
<p><b>The page could not be moved:</b> a page of that name already exists, or the name you have chosen is not valid. </p>
<p>Please choose another name, or perform a <b><u><mark><span class="plainlinks">[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:MovePage&wpOldTitle=Wikipedia%3ATemplate+editor%2Fsandbox&wpNewTitle=User%3ASilverLocust%2Fsandbox%2Fa&wpReason=%5B%5BSpecial%3APermalink%2F1241724682%23XUW%7CRequested%5D%5D+by+SilverLocust+at+%5B%5BWP%3ARM%2FTR%5D%5D%0A%3A+This+is+a+test.&wpMovetalk=1&pageswap=true Swap]</span></mark></u></b>.</p>
<p>Do <b>not</b> manually move the article by copying and pasting it; the page history must be moved along with the article text.</p>
</div></div>
}}
Then it will have the more helpful move summary loaded: 
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">[[Special:Permalink/1241724682#XUW|Requested]] by SilverLocust at [[WP:RM/TR]]: This is a test.</syntaxhighlight>
Which would result in the following edit summary in the page history:
{{quotebox|align=center|text=
* ''FlightTime moved page [[Wikipedia:Template editor/sandbox]] to [[User:SilverLocust/sandbox/a]] without leaving a redirect: <mark>[[Special:Permalink/1241724682#XUW|Requested]]</mark> by <mark>SilverLocust</mark> at [[WP:RM/TR]]: <mark>This is a test.</mark> (using [[User:Ahecht/Scripts/pageswap|Pageswap GUI]])''
}}
Which includes (1) the permanent link back to the request, (2) the name of the user who requested it, and (3) the rationale they provided. [[User:SilverLocust|SilverLocust]]&nbsp;[[User talk:SilverLocust|💬]] 21:04, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
