Shortcuts

This page is used for listing requests for

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.

Discussion about sexuality templates

In other words, Template:Human sexuality had been around for years; as seen at

I've asked another editor to weigh in.

I do not know what should be done in a case like this, but as mentioned above,
Template:Human sexuality and sexology. The former should therefore be a redirect to the latter. However, the user then edited the former with text from elsewhere. My uneducated opinion is that there would need to be a compelling reason why the former template should be changed while hiding its edit history on another page. That reason should be provided in advance, and until then the edits and move should be reverted—an admin would have to revert the move. Technically, the edit history is not lost, it's just in an unexpected place, so I don't think a history merge is needed. If it were, the remedy would be to revert the recent edits and move, then (if agreed by consensus), the former template could be changed to new content. Johnuniq (talk

I would say that
WP:RMUM applies. That is, the move was of an established page, and was undiscussed. However, and sorry to drag it out, perhaps there should first be a quick discussion somewhere (a wikiproject?) to see if anyone has an opinion. My eyes glaze over with navboxes like these and for all I know there might be a reason the new arrangement is better. Johnuniq (talk

Sex an human sexuality is not the same, (actually there is a broad difference between the all out sense of sex and the human sexual outline) but the template named sex was completely and clearly about human sexuality but It could not be moved because of technical restrictions of any of the admins, previously I left a comment on the talk page about that but no one gave any response to that. So I did these because there should be a clearance of title in wikipedia and I undoubtedly think that merging the history shall be better for that.

I'm having the pages moved back since they were moved without discussion, and I'd already told you about such moves. You don't get to come in and make all these extensive changes without discussion.

But I tried to discuss but in that case no one is eager to discuss but just ignore the topic, Is that it clear partiality about the matter? And please don't move back the pages until the discussion is over.
