Move to Yankari Game Reserve[edit]

Yankari lost its National Park status in 2006 and is now back to being Yankari Game Reserve. So I propose we move it back to Yankari Game Reserve. Need an admin to do this, given the target's lengthy history. Brycehughes (talk) 13:54, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ground Zero: who did the merge in 2022. It seems that we had separate articles 2021–2022, which were edited in parallel. Either the histories should be analysed to see whether there is some way to merge them without causing confusion (I doubt), or Yankari Game Reserve should be moved away before moving this article there. The new name of the former should be mentioned in the move summary.
What name should we use for the other article? Yankari Game Reserve (2021-2022)? Is there a problem in having such pages in the main namespace?

Yankari Game Reserve is currently a redirect to this article, has been since the 2022 merge. Just delete the redirect & move this article there, leaving a redirect behind. Pashley (talk) 02:48, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
@Pashley: Changing page ids can be painful to people who consume wikis via the WMF APIs. Not saying we shouldn't do that but there is a trade-off. Brycehughes (talk) 06:51, 12 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If we do go this route we need to update the Wikidata item also (perhaps I'm stating the obvious). Brycehughes (talk) 04:29, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The content merged into this article from Yankari Game Reserve should be attributed to its authors. I think the easiest way is to point to undeleted history of the other article, which means it shouldn't just be deleted. Histories overlap, so also merging histories doesn't seem prudent. –LPfi (talk) 13:19, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I made a mess out of this. Was trying to to a round-robin move per WV:Pub#Hist merge, but I'm apparently not fully authorised. I moved Yankari Game Reserve to Yankari Game Reserve (temp) but am unable to go any further. If any admin wants to help out and clean up my mess that's be great but if not I understand it's the holiday season here in the West so all good.
