On occasion you might make a mistake of some kind with a page. Perhaps it's a spelling mistake in the title, or your name changed, or you made it in the wrong space — many people make their first persona page on their talk page rather than the main wiki space. Whatever the reason, what you probably want to do is MOVE the page.

Typically, if possible, it's better to move a page rather than to just create a new one an delete the old one. Why is this? Several reasons:

  • Moving a page allows you to save the contents without having to copy/paste or re-type.
  • Moving has an option to create a redirect (say, for a common misspelling, or your old name, or the like).
  • Most importantly, moving keeps the page's edit history and talk page along with it.
