Just a quick help request, I know that most of the time its tropes that get renamed, but a page I'm working on had its name changed incorrectly after I started work on it.

The page is https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Roleplay/DefeatTheGodmodder

The title is supposed to be destroy the godmodder, and when I created the page, it actually was.

The roleplay in question is one I participate in, and I had informed the owner of the roleplay about he page, so when the name was changed, I assumed he was behind it. However, once he notified me that the title was incorrect, I realized that something was off. Finally, I checked the history, and was surprised to find that the thread's edit history begins AFTER the very first couple of edits.

I'm a fairly new troper, so I don't have much experience with this sort of thing, and I would appreciate some help as I don't want to go through the process of adding more tropes to the page itself, or references to it on other pages, as I'm not sure how much of the content -if any- will need to be redone after the problem is fixed.

Google confirms that the current is the wrong name.

Your edit history, FYI, suggests that the page was never named anything but that, and you never edited a page called Destroy The Godmodder. It's probably just an honest mistake on your part.

Either way, this is a fairly simple problem to fix. Click on this, open it for editing, and then copy-paste the contents of the old page into that one. (Also be sure to set the page type and index it.)

Then check the "related to" page, and start moving all the wicks over. Then you can either cutlist the "Defeat" page (preferred), or turn the "Defeat" page into a redirect (not preferred, but acceptable).

With the high number of inbounds, the redirect is preferred.
