Moving the page to David Dye
edit@Justlettersandnumbers I thought I made a proper disambiguation page. Can you please let me know where I went wrong FuzzyMagma (talk) 09:24, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
- Ah Ok. It seems like you did not completely revert my edits. Thanks FuzzyMagma (talk) 09:30, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) FuzzyMagma, what you did was essentially a WP:cut-and-paste move – you re-purposed the David Dye page by copy-pasting stuff from here into it (with some improvements). That messes up the history and breaks the chain of attribution for the work of other editors, which is required under the terms of our Creative Commons licence. The way to move a page is to ... well, move it – so that's what I've done. For the future, if there's something in the way of a move you can ask for help with that at WP:RMTR. There's guidance on dab pages here; the last paragraph of that section is relevant here. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 09:37, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
- Make sense. I think I tried to move the page but couldn’t because its already exited. but I get what you mean FuzzyMagma (talk) 09:39, 13 November 2022 (UTC)
