Hi - Please read WP:MOVE before moving any more pages. If you have any questions, leave a note on my talk page. Thanks! -SCEhardT 22:11, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- I haven't moved any pages today. Perhaps you mean WP:REDIRECT? Colonel Warden (talk) 22:18, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
Sorry. That was rather cryptic. I was referring to the move of the contents of Feature creep. Although you didn't do it all at once, the end result was a copy/paste move, which causes the page history to be lost. Instead, please use the 'move' button. -SCEhardT 22:21, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- It is not possible to move/overwrite an existing page unless you are an admin. I was performing a manual merge. Colonel Warden (talk) 22:28, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
If the sole content (and history) of the destination page is a redirect, you should be able to move the page yourself. If not, you can make a request at Misplaced Pages:Requested moves. Regardless, the actions you performed result in a loss of page history (page history is required for compliance with the GFDL). If page B is empty, do not copy and paste content from page A to page B and then turn page A into a redirect. Use the move function instead, or request that an admin make the move. -SCEhardT 23:07, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- In this case we have multiple existing pages witn similar titles Feature creep, Featuritis, Scope creep, Functionality creep and who knows how many more. In this case, it seems best to keep the talk for each of these with the page it originated with rather than shuffling them about and confusing matters further. I see that you have moved Featuritis talk page to the talk page of Feature creep. What happened to the talk page for the latter? What if someone wanted to revert?
- Anyway, little of either article survives - this is effectively a reset as I rebuilt from fresh sources. If there is some technical difficulty with my action, then, in future cases of this sort, I will retain nothing of the originals. Colonel Warden (talk) 23:28, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- I see that Talk:Functionality creep has lots of chatter even though that was redirected after an AFD. Since that must have done by an admin, I'm confused. In your view, should that now be added to the talk for Feature creep or what? Since it is mostly bickering, it seems like a big waste of time. :) Colonel Warden (talk) 23:36, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
