Moving a page by copy pasting or something else.

Hello

I saw in this edit "Night vision (research) revision 127839" that you replaced all of that page's contents with a redirect. You also created a new page called Nightvision equipment (research). This is not the way to do it. Next time, move the page so the history will be preserved.

On a positive note, all Factorians are grateful for your help to the Factorio Wiki.

Night vision (research) didn't show up in the search function. I created Nightvision equipment (research). By searching through some links I was directed to Night vision (research). I can't delete Nightvision equipment (research) and thus was unable to move the old Night vision (research) page to the correct location. I understand and generally use the correct way, but when the admins of this wiki hamstring power users then workarounds have to be used.

Oh and I honestly wish that this wiki had the chat function instead of the dated talk/discussion pages.

Ok, if you're aware of the correct way to do it (and I already saw that in recent changes, it was merely a heads up), everything's fine. I do not have power over who gets which rights, I could ask one of the devs though to give some more simple rights to other user groups then administrators.

I completely agree with you on the chat function, mostly because new users who are not familiar with wikis don't fully understand how talk is supposed to be done.

Concerning the pages on achievements

Hey there, just wanted to ask what you're aiming for, making individual pages for some achievements. Is your plan to make a page for every achievement? Because if so, that's unnecessary, due to there already being a page for achievements, Achievements. However, your icons are useful, and I will merge the pages you created into Achievements, with your consent. --Gangsir (talk) 20:36, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

If you don't have individual pages then it's harder for new players to find exactly what they're looking for via the search function. I'd prefer it if the individual pages were kept and the entries on the Achievements page were transcluded. I was planning to do this anyway and will probably have it done by today or tomorrow.

Would you prefer to have only an Achievements page and change the individual pages as redirects?
