Requests for page history moves

Go To

This is the thread for requesting page moves when you want to preserve the page history.

A few rules:

  • We do not handle wicks, indexes and custom titles here. If you ask for a page move, it's still your responsibility to handle these.
  • We can't do page splits or mergers here.
  • Please refrain from asking moves on pages with no useful history.
  • The page mover tool requires that the destination page be nonexistent or cut. If you want to move a page to an existing redirect, please use the Cut List and ensure that the page is a Red Link before coming here.

Did we just lose Music.Bubblegum because of a bad cut request?

Restore Music.Bubblegum then move to Main.Bubblegum Music please?

Should the OP of this thread be modified to mention that there are some titles that are too long to be moved?

[up][up] I think you should go to the cutlist thread about restoring the page.

^Doing...

^^No, because it's only a problem for me. Moderators with more time can use a manual method that doesn't have a length limit.

^^^As mentioned by ^, that's a question for the cutlist thread.

Is there a way to move the page histories of Art Nouveau prior to its move as a Useful Notes, and the history of when it was part of Useful Notes?

Sounds to me like you'd need to merge the histories for that. I dunno if it's possible, ~kory can this be done at a database level?

~kory To keep the histories all in one place. Sometimes you need to track down someone's edits past the page move, or tell when a description change or trope addition occurred.

[up]x4 just to know the history behind why it was moved to Useful Notes, and if there are remaining examples that had been dewicked by then. And I never understood why Art Nouveau was moved to be a Useful Notes page, while the companion trope Art Deco wasn't.

Character.Bot Types to Characters.Botworld Adventure Bot Types

(EDIT: Nevermind, the page is too short to be worth keeping so it was merged into Characters.Botworld Adventure.)

Was a mistake made? And is this a one-time thing? If it’s a one time thing I could look into doing it, but we don’t have time to be doing stuff like this in the future with the live database and should instead prevent this scenario from happening.

There are a few longer title requested moves that still need to be done.

Doing the non-long requests.

I think it's an one-time request, although I can't predict whether there will be more cases in the future.
