Description SharkD 2009-01-27 06:08:47 UTC When moving/renaming a category, the old edit history does not get transferred to the new category. I don't like how edit histories just "disappear". Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2009-07-19 21:07:51 UTC MediaWiki doesn't support a notion of renaming category pages at this time. What is it you're doing? Comment 2 Dan Collins 2011-07-16 01:54:48 UTC Per brion, it isn't actually possible to move a category. This should probably be considered a feature.
