Cut & paste moves

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you tried to give Peranakans a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Baba Nyonya. 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. Instead, the software used by Misplaced Pages has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, 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 follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Misplaced Pages:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

If you think the Peranakans article should be renamed to Baba Nyonya, you should start a move discussion by following the steps at WP:RSPM. Bennv123 (talk) 13:42, 27 December 2023 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages and copyright

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages. It appears that you copied or moved text from Peranakans into Baba Nyonya. While you are welcome to re-use Misplaced Pages's content, here or elsewhere, Misplaced Pages's licensing does require that you provide attribution to the original contributor(s). When copying within Misplaced Pages, this is supplied at minimum in an edit summary at the page into which you've copied content, disclosing the copying and linking to the copied page, e.g., copied content from ]; see that page's history for attribution. It is good practice, especially if copying is extensive, to also place a properly formatted {{copied}} template on the talk pages of the source and destination. Please provide attribution for this duplication if it has not already been supplied by another editor, and if you have copied material between pages before, even if it was a long time ago, you should provide attribution for that also. You can read more about the procedure and the reasons at Misplaced Pages:Copying within Misplaced Pages. Thank you. — Red-tailed hawk _(nest) 02:56, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
