[edit] Move to Coverdell Education Savings Account ?

Since that's what the IRS calls them these days. I think I updated all of the redirects properly, we just need an admin to properly move it over so that the page history is properly maintained. j-beda 19:37, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Education Savings Accoun → Coverdell Education Savings Account – The proper name is "Coverdell Education Savings Account" and the article is not talking about generic "education savings accounts". I foolishly created "Coverdell Education Savings Account" and messed around with that a bit, so now I cannot just use the "move" link to move "Education Savings Account" and its history to the new name. Next time I'll think a bit first before diving right in. j-beda 19:59, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Discussion

I see what you are saying except Education Savings Account with majuscules is a proper noun so it shouldn't be confused with general education savings accounts. That said, there's no harm in being more specific, so take this as a support. Now to the technical details, you can fix your snafu by merging the content in Coverdell Education Savings Account into this one and making that a redirect here. When the target of a move is only a redirect to the article you are trying to move to the target, I think it lets you do that. I'm not sure because as an admin I can just delete the target article to make way for the move. - Taxman Talk 22:40, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

I was going to just to a "manual move and re-direct" as Taxman suggested, but that would leave the older article history back with the older article, while a "move" gets the page history moved as well. j-beda 19:11, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I was talking about using the move function too, I was just explaining you have to have a clean target to move it to. - Taxman Talk 20:04, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Sorry I didn't quite read your statement fully. What you suggested is what I tried, but with either a blank page or a redirect page, the "move" function balked and said, "no can do". I think that it is to prevent "move wars". Once a page has been edited, you cannot simply move another page to that page (if it has only been a redirect you might be able to do so, but once it has had other content, no can do.) j-beda 20:27, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
