Template:Cycling data TNE → Template:Cycling data BOH – In light of the clean-up of articles by user Sander v. Ginkel, this move in March 2015 (and more so by an IP thereafter) resulted in the page histories being skewed when they should not have been. Now in line with the UCI, BOH is the correct code for the team. I had moved the BOA page to BOH in December 2016, but had not noticed this previous issue. Therefore, upon further review, the TNE page needs to be moved to BOH, as that should correct the issues with the histories. Apologies if this is long-winded.

This is a contested technical request (permalink). Anthony Appleyard (talk) 06:06, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Contesting due to the fact that Template:Cycling data BOH (the move target) redirects to Template:Cycling data BOA. Moving Template:Cycling data TNE to Template:Cycling data BOH could transclude the wrong template. All transclusions of Template:Cycling data BOH need to be verified/fixed first.

@Steel1943:. All transclusions of BOH were previously at BOA, and were adjusted to incorporate the page move. Refer to my contribution history. Craig (talk) 00:14, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- @Anthony Appleyard: The ping for some reason did not work for this being moved; just an FYI. Craig (talk) 07:18, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Cs-wolves and Steel1943: See if ping works with some text in the message. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 08:53, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Anthony Appleyard: Yeah, that works perfectly. Technical question: now that Zwerg Nase has unredirected BOH (in good faith) where the page was initially moved due to be moved into, could TNE theoretically be histmerged into BOH, and TNE set as a redirect, or is that technically impossible with the histmerge capability?

Sorry for the mess I've made. I hope this resolves itself quickly. Zwerg Nase (talk) 20:16, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Zwerg Nase, Cs-wolves, and Steel1943: Template:Cycling data TNE and Template:Cycling data BOH should not be history-merged with each other :: they are WP:Parallel histories. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:16, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Anthony Appleyard:. Damn. RM it'll have to be then... Craig (talk) 22:28, 12 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Zwerg Nase, Cs-wolves, and Steel1943: If Template:Cycling data TNE is moved to Template:Cycling data BOH, then firstly the existing Template:Cycling data BOH and its talk page and all their dependent pages should be moved away to some other name (without leaving redirects), and not be left sitting deleted under corresponding pages moved in from Template:Cycling data TNE. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 10:01, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Anthony Appleyard: So, for instance, the current BOH should be moved to something like Bora, from what you're saying? I may be completely wrong on this next point, but if TNE gets moved into BOH, would the pages already listed with BOH not show that after a purge of the page, or would the 250+ pages need BOH to be amended to Bora, and then amended back to BOH when the pages are moved? Craig (talk) 21:13, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Zwerg Nase, Cs-wolves, and Steel1943: Try moving the existing Template:Cycling data BOH to Template:Cycling data BOH (version 2) or similar. A "deleted" edit is not destroyed; it stays at the same page name and is marked to say that only admins are allowed to see it. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 22:40, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- @Anthony Appleyard: Moved to version 2 as requested. I think I messed it up when I moved it to Bora initially, but hopefully it shouldn't be an issue. Craig (talk) 22:46, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Zwerg Nase, Cs-wolves, and Steel1943: Do you want me to move Template:Cycling data TNE to Template:Cycling data BOH? Anthony Appleyard (talk) 23:06, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Anthony Appleyard: Anthony, if you could, that would be perfect. Craig (talk) 23:12, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
