This page was originally for listing cut and paste moves which could not be repaired due to a then-extant technical limitation. The limitation has since been removed, but this page is still available if you find a cut-and-paste move, and are not able to repair it yourself (There is a procedure for doing it, but 1. only admins can do it, and 2. it's a bit tricky).
Currently the only technical limitation is that category and image description pages can't be moved.
Admins: please read Misplaced Pages:How to fix cut-and-paste moves and Misplaced Pages:Moving guidelines for administrators.
The procedure
- Place a {{db-histmerge|NAME OF PAGE THE ARTICLE WAS CUT FROM}} template at the new location of the article which has been moved through cut and pasting, i.e. on the article where the pasting was done.
- If the issue is clear-cut (straight up cut and paste move to a better title), having this speedy delete tag on the page should be enough. In more complex cases (explained at Misplaced Pages:How to fix cut and paste moves), please leave a description of the problem under the "Repair requests" section.
- An admin will look the pages over and perform whatever tasks are necessary.
- Once this is done, the admin will post the result here.
- Old requests will be removed after 30 days.
Repair requests
Please add new requests to the top of the New Requests section. Thanks.

Queried requests
- Venus Doom Live (history) needs to be merged with Digital Versatile Doom (history). Venus Doom Live is a redirect to Digital Versatile Doom. Digital Versatile Doom is the correct name for the article, but Venus Doom Live was created before Digital Versatile Doom was. — Save_Us † 00:09, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- The supposed cut-and-paste move would be from http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Venus_Doom_Live&oldid=188531190 to http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Digital_Versatile_Doom&oldid=188655341 , but these two are so unlike that I suspect that they are independent creations. Venus Doom Live was not changed to a redirect until after Digital Versatile Doom had been edited many times. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 07:07, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
- Holistic Information Security Practitioner needs the history of Health Information Systems Programme prior to January 2008. Thanks. CIreland (talk) 01:48, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- In this case, I think we should leave the history where it is. The older edits of Health Information Systems Programme include both topics, so this history would be appropriate at either article. The earliest edits refer only to Health Information Systems Programme, so the history should remain there. I'll add a talk page note on Holistic Information Security Practitioner noting where its history comes from. Cool Hand Luke 06:29, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
- Inclusive and exclusive we > Clusivity (former is currently redirect, but has longer edit history).
- This is not cut-and-paste but two parallel versions which have been merged. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:21, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Battle of the Bridge of Calderón > Battle of Calderón Bridge (former is currently redirect, but has slightly longer edit history; duplicate articles started within 24 hrs of each other).
- Thanks in advance. Aille (talk) 23:58, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
- This is not cut-and-paste but two parallel versions which have been merged. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:21, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Court TV -> Tru TV Channel changed names on Jan 1 2008, please histmerge. If possible, please do no include the Jan 1 edits to Court TV as the page should have been a straight move. -- Cmjc80 (talk) 22:20, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- History merge looks inappropriate to me. They are the same network and should be merged, but the Tru TV article was re-written from scratch and has a different history. Cool Hand Luke 04:27, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- The page was supposed to be moved and rewritten on the new page. Why do you want to loose 4 years of edit history to a redirect page? Even the editor that made the new page(Mr. Senseless) agrees it was the incorrect thing to do Talk:TruTV -- Cmjc80 (talk) 04:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
- When topics are merged, the history of one of them always stays at the redirect. There are tons of redirects with years worth of history. Cool Hand Luke 07:01, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

- CONCACAF Champions' League cut & pasted into CONCACAF Champions League at 16:33, 30 January 2008 though request for move made at WP:RM. The article pasted into already has history which looks more that just simple redirects. Keith D (talk) 16:03, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

- A while back I tried to rename "HMNZS Taranaki (F-148)" "HMNZS Taranaki (F148)" with a cut and paste. Realizing my mistake I restored the text on the original (F-148) page and tried to free the (F148) page by redirecting it to "HMNZS Taranaki (to delete)". I then tried to move "HMNZS Taranaki (F-148)" to "HMNZS Taranaki (F148)", but it wouldn't let me. I guess the "HMNZS Taranaki (F148)" page needs to be deleted first, but I don't know how to do that. Help please. --Geronimo20 (talk) 20:07, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
- Done Thanks for your report. Btw, the move to HMNZS Taranaki (to delete) was not necessary ;)--Oxymoron 21:04, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
- List of Samurai Shodown characters > User:MissingNOOO/List of Samurai Shodown Characters. The former is a redirect but has edit history not available in the user's sandbox.

- Happy Tree Friends series (explicit) --> Happy Tree Friends. The article Happy Tree Friends was moved to Happy Tree Friends series (explicit) on 25 October 2007. Another user attempted to undo this move by copying the content back to the original title, rather than with a simple move operation. This means the history of the article is split at that date, with the old history at the longer title, and the newer history at the shorter title. (The shorter title is, of course, the correct one per article naming guidelines.) Powers 15:05, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

- METRO AG --> Metro AG. Page started at Metro AG but then gets copied to Metro Group. Later is moved properly to METRO AG.
