Information.svg

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Uncyclopedia. It appears that you tried to give a page 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, under our license, CC BY-NC-SA 2.0. Instead, the software used by Uncyclopedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history. In most cases, once your account is four days old, 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 ask an administrator or fellow community member to move the article for you. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please notify an administrator. Thank you.
