Description Aervanath 2009-03-30 17:21:02 UTC
Currently, if you are an administrator on en.wiki, you have the option to move one page over another; deleting the target page is simply part of the action. For example, if I rename page Foo to the new name Bar, Bar will be deleted to make way for the incoming Foo. However, if Talk:Bar exists and has history, Talk:Foo will be left behind, decoupling the article and talk pages. It is then necessary to go back and manually move Talk:Foo to Talk:Bar in order to re-couple the talk pages.  It would be more convenient for administrators if the software allowed you to overwrite both the target article and target talk page from the same screen.
