Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Internationales Dokumentarfilmfestival München a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. 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 for registered users, 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:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

I just asked this on your talk page. Didn't see this message. Thank you. DrUtrecht (talk) 10:00, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

DOK.fest moved to draftspace

Thanks for your contributions to DOK.fest. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability and Majority of sources are primary to the festival itself.. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. scope_creep^Talk 10:39, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you.

It is not my article (i.e. nearly 100% of it was not done by me) and it has been on Wikipedia for years on Internationales Dokumentarfilmfestival München. It feels like we broke something by moving an old article to draftspace.
