Hey Roy, I hope you're doing well. I just archived ], and, immediately after archiving, realised that the case move was done as a section move as opposed to a case move, with the page history still living under a redirect at ], which is otherwise empty. Not sure whether that was intentional (and if it wasn't, whether it needs fixing), but I thought I'd bring it up because it struck me as unusual and I'm not entirely sure what to do with it. Best, ]|] 19:39, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
:{{u|Blablubbs}}, I suppose it should have been done as a case move. To be honest, however, I'm sure there are other clerks who are more expert at such process details than I am. -- ] ] 19:57, 15 April 2021 (UTC)
:{{u|Blablubbs}}, I didn't give you a very good answer the first time. My apologies. What I was thinking was that if this was a brand new case, I would have moved the entire case, but since it was an existing case, I just moved the one section. Of course, it was really the one and only section. So, yeah, moving the entire case would probably have been the right thing to do. -- ] ] 16:30, 16 April 2021 (UTC)
