Talk:Hungarian University of Applied Arts

Case history[edit]

(Copied from here.)

There was an article about Hungarian University of Applied Arts. The name of the university changed on May 1st to Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design. A user came along and copied the content of the page under the new name plus making a few edits, instead of moving the original page before editing (which was very bad, as he should have used the "move" button). I wanted to revert it by moving the old page to a new name, where I could insert the new content he created, but when I moved the page, it just lost all its history! [1] I wanted to reinforce the proper move to a new name, so as to save the history of the original page, and I lost it instead. Why? Could you please HELP me?

I mean:

The history of the original page (Hungarian University of Applied Arts) should be undeleted and restored.
The present, updated content of the page Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design should be copied to the previous page.
The page Hungarian University of Applied Arts (with the updated content) should be properly moved to the name "Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design".

Thus, the result should be a page with the name "Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design", which has the present (updated) content of this page and the full history of the page Hungarian University of Applied Arts, reflecting the implemented changes. It could perhaps involve a redirect from the latter page and all the other pages involved. I think an administrator is required for this task.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Here is the missing history! Adam78 02:01, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've done the above things; the only thing yet to be done is moving the page Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (Budapest) to its proper name, Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (which is now filled in by the history of a wrong move). Adam78 02:33, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
