Copy & paste moves

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Rowan Taylor a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

Please use WP:RM if you wish to move the page. Giant Snowman 20:30, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Giant, I told October(BYU) to do a cut-and-paste move (with an attribution of the page's history in the edit history) because I thought that was the right way to do it. Maybe that's just for translations of pages from other language wikis? I didn't think we could move the page to an existing page with the "move" feature. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 21:04, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Editors have been able to move pages since 2002... Giant Snowman 21:10, 20 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
