Important usage warnings:

Image files should not be moved using this tool. Any changes will not sync with the CDN and update the file's corresponding dodo.ac URL, resulting in affected images not displaying properly. Such moves should instead be performed manually.
Once a replace request has been submitted, it generally cannot be stopped before the replacement is completed. It is important to test your replacement on a few pages before submitting a larger request.

To replace one text string with another across all regular pages on this wiki, enter the two pieces of text here and then hit "Continue". You will then be shown a list of pages that contain the search text, and you can choose the ones in which you want to replace it. Your name will appear in page histories as the user responsible for any changes.
