Information icon Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give DC Comics' shared universe films a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into DC Comics' cinematic universe films. 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, 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:Cut-and-paste-move repair holding pen. Thank you.

Seriously, stop!

[edit]

Stop creating new pages using cut and paste moves. If you want to change the title of pages, then you need to get an autoconfirmed user to move the page for you, see WP:MOVE. Your cut and paste moves are a violation of Wikipedia copyright, as they do not give proper attribution to the people who edited the old page. Stop making these moves.
