Shortcuts

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 1. only admins can do it, and 2. it's a bit tricky).

Currently the only technical limitation is that category and file description pages can't be moved.

Admins: please read Wikipedia:How to fix cut-and-paste moves and Wikipedia:Requested moves/Closing instructions.

Please read Wikipedia:New histmerge list and Wikipedia talk:New histmerge list.

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 this speedy delete tag 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 admin will look the pages over and perform whatever tasks are necessary.
Once this is done, the admin will post the result here.
Old requests will be removed after 30 days.

Repair requests

Note: pages tagged with {{histmerge}} are automatically placed in Category:Candidates for history merging.

Please add new requests to the top of the New Requests section. Thanks.

New requests

While not a copy-and-paste, Finnick Odair (The Hunger Games) is a re-write of what was the 3rd-to-most-recent version of what is now Talk:Finnick Odair (The Hunger Games). Both pages were at various locations including at various times in the same place, which may make this a complex move. Please merge these histories except the last two "blank" versions of what is now the talk page. Please leave a blank or deleted talk page. Please clean up redirects that may exist at Talk:Finnick Odair (The Hunger Games character), Wikipedia talk:Finnick Odair, Talk:Finnick Odair ''(The Hunger Games character)'', Talk:Finnick Odair (''The Hunger Games'' character), Finnick Odair (The Hunger Games character), Wikipedia:Finnick Odair, Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Finnick Odair, Finnick Odair ''(The Hunger Games character)'', and Finnick Odair (''The Hunger Games'' character). Note: I moved a third copy, Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Finnick Odair, to a user sub-page and marked the leftover redirect for deletion. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 03:23, 19 May 2013 (UTC)

Queried requests

Simmons College (Massachusetts) was cut and pasted from Simmons College on 16 September 2006, subsequently, Simmons College became a disambiguation page, so history after the cut should be severed from the pre 16 sept 2006 history -- 65.94.76.126 (talk) 06:20, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

Hi, Anthony. One more, here. This was one of the first things I did on Wikipedia, so I didn't do it entirely by the book, I guess. So:
1. I set up a sandbox at User talk:StevenJ81/Draft Shemini Atzeret. It's not really a talk page, it's really a sandbox.
2. What I did over the course of a week or so in October 2011 was to copy a portion of the article to the sandbox, rewrite, then copy back to the original article.
3. I didn't put many edit summaries in the sandbox, and I'm not sure the history there is really of much value. But you can see for yourself.
4. Ultimately, I want to delete this page on WP:SPEEDY, reason U1. And, again, I'll emphasize that it's not really a talk page. So if you think there is useful history to merge in, go ahead. *:Otherwise, I'll just go ahead and tag it for SD. Thanks. StevenJ81 (talk) 02:13, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
