~AudioSpeaks2 I can move it but keep in mind that we can only use the page mover if the target page doesn't exist on the wiki. I am going to cut it first in order to move the page history over. Moving a page manually and asking us to move it again make things a little harder for us.

[up] The cut, and by extension the history move, can wait until all the wicks get migrated to the Website/ namespace.

Other than that, ok got it.

Ah I did the cut before I saw this post so I think I'll have to move forward with the move. You can still fix the wicks in the meantime.

Please move:

This is as proposed on the Literature and ComicBook discussion pages a few days back, and the disambig thread here.

The comic page already has the disambig as a redirect, I'll just swap them.

Other subbages are either soft split, so will need to be disentangled, or don't have enough history to justify a move.

Thanks!

Please move the recently made WebAnimation.Musophobia 2012 to WebAnimation.Musophobia, as there's no other work with that name to warrant disambiguation (yet). The page creator has been informed, but can't get to mending this at the moment.

While examining some recap pages for possible fixes, I found two that needed to be moved (the episode numbers in each link were wrong):

Until next time...

Done, except I went with Scrubs S 8 E 5 My AB Cs for consistency with the series' existing recap pages.

Done. Remember to update wicks/indexing.

(Hm, there's an inconsistency in the episode numbering between Wikipedia and the Fandom wiki. That'll need to be figured out somewhere else.)


~Mrph1, the wicks for these moves still need updating.

So about a year or two ago under my previous account I moved DethroningMoment.Angry Joe to DethroningMoment.The Angry Joe Show, not realizing the page history would be lost in the process. Is there any way to recover it or is it too little too late?

To kickstart the new Platform namespace, please move Website.Go Animate to Platform.Go Animate.

Doing the page moves. I'm afraid that it's too late for the deleted history, but you can ask in Query Bugs or Query Wishlist I'd imagine.

If the new page name already exists as a redirect, can the page still be moved to it?

Or is it just simpler to swap original and redirect for that scenario?

[up]The new page location can be cut right before the move.

Of course, if the new location has significant history itself, a swap a la the Other Wiki's procedure may be in order.

Can we move ComicBook.Hydra to Characters.Marvel Comics Hydra ?

There is no comic called Hydra, it's purely a faction/character page.

There's a separate Characters.Hydra page already, which we'll merge in after the move - but this one has a much longer change history and will have most of the "in general" examples.

Thanks!
