Hi, Scott. I'm hoping you can help me with another history investigation. At some point in February I created Draft:Untitled Suicide Squad spinoff series, and then in May, I created a separate draft at Draft:Untitled Amanda Waller series. The two were related, but it wasn't clear that they were the same topic. The two were later merged when it seemed they were the same subject, but then they were split again. I am trying to find the history that used to be at the first article, but it seems to just point me to the latter. When I check the logs, though, it doesn't look like Draft:Untitled Amanda Waller series has a deletion logged (such as from a G6 move), nor can I find a deleted listing on XTools, so I'm confused where it went. Is it possible to move over draft histories without leaving a deletion log entry and have some kind of hidden history interwoven behind the non-deleted content? Are you able to see anything like that as an admin? Do you think you would able to help me find this history in the event that a history merge or split is needed? Thanks for any help you can offer. - 2pou ( talk) 23:06, 25 July 2022 (UTC)

Hi, Scott. Would you please be so kind as to recover the old revisions of "Super Mario 63"? Regards, Elominius ( talk) 09:08, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

It's just a redirect. The former content can be copied into userspace from the history without the end result being deletion of a redirect that was accepted at WP:AFC/R and that page protection was removed to create. Am I allowed to recreate the redirect? I don't know, I'm not active enough here. No valid reason has been given for deletion, so I'm leaning on the side of Hitchens's razor, and restoring it.
(Sorry if this comes off aggressive – something weird is affecting my mood IRL and I'm not making good judgment on what comments are fine and what aren't. I'll strike it if anything's out of line, and you're free to wipe the comment as a whole.) Skarmory (talk • contribs) 20:17, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

(move pages over existing single revision redirects regardless of target), you should be able to do it (

just decided not to give me a yes/no on the "Are you sure you want to delete this page by overwriting" or whatever that message was. I still got it back to
Super Mario 63 – let me know if anything's wrong, or feel free to trout me, because I feel like I deserve one today.

If you don't mind, could you please update File:Yearly change in number of admins on the English Wikipedia.png? It's two years out of date. Thanks Queen of Hearts 06:25, 4 February 2024 (UTC)
