Pageswap

Having recently gained page mover rights I've used your pageswap script to make a few non-controversial cleanup moves. A couple of observations:

  1. As I read WP:ROBIN, "Page A" has the preferred title and "Page B" has the preferred content; initiating the move on Page B rather than the other way around seems to give that page the cleaner edit history.
  2. Using the scrip to swap talk pages only (i.e. where a talk page has become misplaced) results in awkward title constructions like Draft:Move/Talk:Seoul National Capital Area. I guess this doesn't matter though?

Anyway, thanks for providing the script and since I'm new to this I'd appreciate any constructive advice you may have. PC78 (talk) 20:25, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

@PC78: I'm usually not too concerned with "clean" page histories, but yes, starting on "B" should give you less clutter there. I'm also not too concerned with the title of the Draft page since it is quickly deleted. You could route it through Draft talk:Move, but I think that makes the edit histories a little harder to read. --Ahecht (TALK

@PC78: Sorry, I read your message a little too fast the first time, and missing that you also asked for any advice. The best I could give would be to always check all four moved pages from your contributions page until you get a feel for the sort of weird things that can happen with redirects after multiple moves. I'd also brush up on your WP:RCATs so that you can categorize moves properly (the most common ones I come across for moves are {{R from former name}}, {{R from alternative name}}, {{R from incorrect name}}, {{R from unnecessary disambiguation}}, {{R from incorrect disambiguation}}, {{R from other capitalisation}}, {{R from miscapitalisation}}, {{R from alternative spelling}}, and {{R from misspelling}}). --Ahecht (TALK
