I've been trying the move the Sky Does Minecraft page and its subpages beacuse it had the wrong namespace becaues it's a Lets'Play and it shouldn't be in the Main namespace. I tried to follow the administrivia for moving a page and created the Sky Does Minecraft page. So two of the same article exist simultaneously. I 've haven't been able to move evreything yet because I don't know how and... oh god, my brain hurts.

First of all, breathe. It's okay. The pages can be sorted easily, and it's better to have two than none.

Now then, let's see. You're right that it shouldn't be in the Main namespace, and copying it over to Let's Play/ is the first step of moving it. We then need to remove the Main/ page, either by making it a redirect to the Let's Play/ page, or by cutlisting it. Because it has a lot of inbound links (check the Related To page to get the count), it gets a redirect. The code for the redirect here is [[redirect:LetsPlay/SkyDoesMinecraft]]; I've done it for you.

With the redirect in place, it's really mostly done now. You don't need to move any of the subpages, since they show up automatically. What remains is to change all the old wicks to point at the new page. To do this, go to the Related To page again and one by one edit the pages listed to add the Let's Play/ namespace to the links there.

That was the amazing part. Things just keep going.

I went ahead and moved the rest of the wicks.

I assume DisproportionateRetribution.Comic Books is the problem page. You need to write the link in CamelCase; [[ and ]] doesn't do anything.
