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.
