Page move
I tried to move this page to Flashboy after moving that page to Flashboy (Viridian) but it refuses, even though it is a mere redirect with no edit history, so perhaps an admin can be of some help here. Chupchup 22:16, 12 June 2013 (PDT)
- That's because you still need to delete the other page in order to move this one there. --Belthazar451 04:28, 13 June 2013 (PDT)
- In the page move dialog, it says Note that the page will not be moved if there is already a page at the new title, unless it is empty or a redirect and has no past edit history. This means that you can rename a page back to where it was renamed from if you make a mistake, and you cannot overwrite an existing page. so I understood it to mean that I could move it to a page which had no edit history and was a simple redirect. But I guess I was wrong. Chupchup 20:13, 13 June 2013 (PDT)
- I suspect it means a redirect pointing at the page you're trying to move. --Belthazar451 05:31, 14 June 2013 (PDT)
