Donda

Donda edit history from creation in 2009 through April 2013 needs to be histmerged onto Donda (moth) as it is the earlier version of the article. The talk page Talk:Donda also needs to be attached to the moth article. -- 67.70.32.190 (talk) 06:06, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
@67.70.32.190: Talk:Donda is a typical talk page of disambig page.
- Those edits of Donda are disambig edits and describe the moths AND other meanings of "Donda". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 16:30, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

Done KSCF to KEGY (asked in Wikipedia:Requests for history merge) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:52, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
As an Admin, I'm mildly embarrassed to be bringing this here, but I've read through the history merge instructions, and I'm pretty sure I can't use the special page. So, given how much of a pain in the ass these things can be to undo, I'm going to bring it to the experts, rather than taking the chance of mucking it up myself.

Radio station KSCF changed its call sign to KEGY on April 2, 2012. That should have been facilitated by renaming the KSCF article, but was done as a cut-and-paste instead. KSCF is now a redirect to KEGY, which is great. However, the complicating factor is that KEGY was initially created as a redirect to KSCF until the copy was cut and pasted over. As a result, there's overlapping history.

Help? P.S. I'm all for being self-sufficient and learning new skills, so if anyone's willing to walk me through how this gets fixed post-fix, I'd be very interested. Mlaffs (talk) 00:42, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

@Mlaffs: Done. Most of the history overlap was merely 3 late redirect edits appended to KSCF's history. First I deleted KSCF, then I undeleted it except those last 3 edits. After I moved KSCF to KEGY, when undeleting KEGY, I did not undelete its oldest edit, which was a stray early redirect edit which also history-overlapped. (Afterwards, I text-merged these 2 articles' talk pages.) Anthony Appleyard (talk) 04:57, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

The Mutts article was created in 2006 about a British band, but is now a separate article about an American band, which is proposed for deletion. The article was changed between two topics a few times in March and April 2008 and the history contains versions of both articles including two revisions on 17 April (19:44 and 19:47) with both on one page; the latest version that is only the original article is 19:36. A separate article was created at The Mutts (American band) but after three revisions was moved to The Mutts (UK) at 19:48 and replaced with the British band's article. There were overlapping histories of the American band's article in both pages for a few minutes but none for the British band. Peter James (talk) 14:30, 13 August 2015 (UTC)
- Not done @Peter James: The history of The Mutts is largely composed of a long alternating WP:edit war between (UK band versus both bands), then between (UK band versus USA band), then between (2 versions about the USA band, see this diff). The 3 edits about the USA band at the start (oldest edits) of The Mutts (UK), are WP:Parallel histories with part of this war. There is no hope of sensibly history-splitting this mess.

Philadelphia Fury (1978–80) was created by a cut/paste move from Philadelphia Fury, which now covers a newer team with the same name. All of the edits prior to April 11, 2014 cover only the older team and definitely belong in the 1978–80 article. However there was an intermediate period between this edit and this edit where the Philadelphia Fury article covered both teams, and I am not sure what should be done with this portion of the page history.
