Locked pages thread.

If the edit history is not too important (which is the case for most pages), you can move it manually — transfer the content to the new page, cutlist or redirect the old one, and change the wicks.

Cool. Page isn't locked so the thread shouldn't be necessary, right?

It's not just for locked pages, but it's generally where you go to ask mods to do things only they can do (includes creating new redirects, for example). In the case of page moves, this helps for creating or moving things to Main/, or when preserving edit history is important. But in this case I would just move it manually.

The move is finished and the old name is cutlisted. The cutlist entry lists 15 redlinks but I took care of them; not sure why they're still there.

^Did you put it on the cutlist before dewicking? Pretty sure that number is the number of wicks when you put it on the list.

Ah, yeah, that was my bad.
