Wikipedia:Requests for history merge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Denis.arnaud (talk | contribs) at 14:21, 26 December 2021 (New requests). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

    This page is used for listing requests for history merges or history splitting of pages. For relatively simple cases where history merge is required, the destination page should be tagged with the {{histmerge}} template. This page should be used for requesting very complex merges, merges involving more than two pages, history merges of deleted pages, or when the use of the template is otherwise inadequate or where its usage would cause problems.

    This page was originally for listing cut-and-paste moves which could not be repaired due to a then-extant technical limitation. The limitation has since been removed, but this page is still available if you find a cut-and-paste move, and are not able to repair it yourself (there is a procedure for doing it, but only administrators can do it, and it is a bit tricky!).

    Administrators need to read Wikipedia:Administrators' guide/Fixing cut-and-paste moves and Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions.

    The procedure

    • If the issue is clear-cut (straight-forward cut-and-paste move(s) to a different title), place a {{histmerge|NAME OF PAGE THE ARTICLE WAS CUT FROM}} template at the new location of the article which has been moved through cut and pasting, i.e. on the article where the pasting was done.
    • In more complex cases (explained at Wikipedia:How to fix cut-and-paste moves), please leave a description of the problem under the "Repair requests" section. An administrator will look over the pages and perform whatever tasks are necessary and update the request.
    • Tasks that have been completed or do not need further discussion will be removed.

    New requests

    • (Requesting histmerge of the deleted version of Draft:Pir Alauddin Siddiqui with the current version. Background: the draft had been declined, and the draft creator tagged it for deletion and immediately created it in mainspace, instead of submitting it for review again. I have draftified it. (They had moved it to mainspace / created mainspace versions several times, so Draft:Pir Alauddin Siddiqui (1) and Draft:Pir Alauddin Siddiqui (2) also existed, and were tagged for deletion by the same editor at the same time. I don't actually know which version of the draft was copied into mainspace, but I don't think it is worth sinking too much time into investigating that.)  Done Anthony Appleyard (talk) 01:32, 26 December 2021 (UTC) )[reply]
