* [[Moro battles in Sabah]] to [[Cross border attacks in Sabah]]. It looks like there was cut paste move [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Moro_battles_in_Sabah&diff=685634351&oldid=685572193 cut here] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Cross_border_attacks_in_Sabah&diff=685634375&oldid=685591142 pasted here]. Would it be possible to merge the history from [[Moro battles in Sabah]] to [[Cross border attacks in Sabah]]. I understand that the [[Moro battles in Sabah|source page]] has since been edited by me and {{u|Molecule Extraction}}, but our edits are not substantial (and can be deleted if required). Would a histmerge be possible here? --[[User:Lemongirl942|Lemongirl942]] ([[User talk:Lemongirl942|talk]]) 12:04, 27 September 2016 (UTC) |

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:How to fix cut-and-paste moves and Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions.
The procedure
- 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. - If the issue is clear-cut (straight up cut-and-paste move to a better title), having the template on the page should be enough. 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.
- Once this is done, the admin may post the result here.
Repair requests
Candidates for history merging – 2 items
Possible AfC copy-and-paste moves – No backlog currently
Possible cut-and-paste moves – No backlog currently
New requests
- Moro battles in Sabah to Cross border attacks in Sabah. It looks like there was cut paste move cut here and pasted here. Would it be possible to merge the history from Moro battles in Sabah to Cross border attacks in Sabah. I understand that the source page has since been edited by me and Molecule Extraction, but our edits are not substantial (and can be deleted if required). Would a histmerge be possible here? --Lemongirl942 (talk) 12:04, 27 September 2016 (UTC)

- An article on the emotion of joy was made by replacing the present disambiguation page: [1]. Then the article was reverted back to the dab page: [2]. I disagree with the revert, I think that an article on the emotion of joy is justified (see Talk:Joy, and on other Wikipedias: d:Q935526#sitelinks-wikipedia).
- I would propose the following:
- - delete the article Joy
- - restore all the revisions, except the ones about the article on the emotion (from the 00:33, 26 April 2015 revision to the 21:29, 16 June 2015 revision)
- - move the disambiguation page to Joy (disambiguation)
- - restore the remaining revisions on Joy

- @Rachel Helps (BYU): What needs to be history-merged with what? These 5 pages look very WP:Parallel histories. They look like the result of a page being split into daughter pages, and all of them much edited. The only thing to do is to put history information sections in the starts of their talk pages. History-merging is only useful where there has been a single complete cut-and-paste (not copy-and-paste). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:18, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Anthony Appleyard: Sorry, perhaps I misunderstood when a request for a history merge was necessary. My student Amgisseman sometimes used the word "merged" when she meant "copied or pasted" on September 14th. The information from the UK page has been cut, and pasted into some of the other pages. For example: this history of Ireland was pasted onto the Ireland page, as was this information pasted onto the Ireland page. This diff shows the information posted to the Wales page. Similarly, some of the information cut about England was pasted into the England page. Rachel Helps (BYU) (talk) 15:35, 19 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Rachel Helps (BYU):: If a page has been split into two pages by a partial cut-and-paste, and both resulting pages have been edited after that, the best thing to do is to say what happened in a history description section in the start of its talk page.

Not done @Safiel: Khyber train safari to Khyber Steam Safari (asked for by {{db-copypaste}}) :: Khyber train safari is an old discontinued seriice; Khyber Steam Safari is a proposed future service; and WP:Parallel histories. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 15:30, 12 September 2016 (UTC)
Not done Free the Children to WE Charity: page WE Charity is a new start from a stub and not a cut-and-paste. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:49, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
Not done Northern Giraffe to Giraffa (asked for by {{histmerge}}) :: Giraffa has 3 edits, all redirects. No real history to merge with. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 20:30, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Anthony Appleyard: It's the extensive history going back to 2005 now at Northern Giraffe that applies to the title Giraffa. I guess it's not strictly cut-and-paste, but I thought I'd indicated properly the direction for the history. There's a weird move followed by a cut and paste. History of Northern Giraffe up to this diff belongs with Giraffa. Plantdrew (talk) 21:15, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Plantdrew: This diff is the history of Northern Giraffe astride the cut-point which you requested :: Northern Giraffe's history is continuous across that supposed cut point, and I am unwilling to cut a connected edit history. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 21:41, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Anthony Appleyard:. OK. The point I highlighted marked a significant change in the subject of the article. But at 8:06 9 September Northern Giraffe was copy pasted to Northern giraffe. Surely the history at Northern Giraffe needs to go somewhere else? Plantdrew (talk) 22:03, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
Done @Plantdrew: I have history-merged Northern Giraffe to Northern giraffe. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:54, 10 September 2016 (UTC)

Not done @Little Will: Hibernia Brewing Ltd. to Hibernia Brewing (asked for by {{histmerge}}) :: Around September 2014, one page was split into pages Hibernia Brewing Ltd. and Hibernia Brewing. To repair the history as desired, another history would have to be cut. The old dilemma when a page is split into two. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:19, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Anthony Appleyard: How would you recommend that I fix this? Don't want to spend a lot of time diffing and pasting, then get all my work reverted for policy reasons. Little Will (talk) 06:32, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
- @Little Will: Put a history information section at the start of Talk:Hibernia Brewing. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:06, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
Not done @Prisencolin: Los Angeles Complexity to compLexity Gaming (asked for by {{histmerge}}) These 2 pages are very unlike at the supposed cut-and-paste point. There clearly was no cut-and-paste event between them. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:09, 8 September 2016 (UTC)
- The content of Los Angeles Complexity was first merged to List of Championship Gaming Series teams after an AFD, and was expanded from there. Later I forked the content onto the compLexity Gaming page. A lot more content has been added in the mean time but it would be nice if the chain of edits had better attribution.--Prisencolin (talk) 00:42, 9 September 2016 (UTC)
Not done @MrLinkinPark333: Template:Glasgow tigers roster (A) to Template:Glasgow Tigers roster (B): (asked for by {{histmerge}}): The edits in A do not match in page length where they would fit in B; more likely A was used as a sandbox to edit parts (not the whole) of B. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 05:38, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
- The June 28, 2013 edits from Template:BC Lions roster and Template:Cincinnati Bengals roster belong to Template:Glasgow Tigers roster --MrLinkinPark333 (talk) 02:06, 3 September 2016 (UTC)
Not done @MrLinkinPark333: These were temporary copy-and-pastes from Template:Glasgow Tigers roster to the other clubs' templates, by User:Sutherland504; these edits were quickly reverted, and one of these 2 cases was described as "vandalism" by the reverter.
