May I ask why you are changing articles into redirects without preserving the content on those pages? (i.e. [[Bankruptcy petition]], [[Bankruptcy law]], [[Bankruptcy trustee]], [[Bankruptcy judge]], [[Bankruptcy estate]], etc.) Redirects might be suitable, but shouldn't the page content be saved, perhaps on the page you are redirecting to? Thanks! --[[User:DavidB4|<font color="ForestGreen">David B</font>]] <sup>([[User talk:DavidB4|TALK]])</sup> 18:21, 2 March 2018 (EST) | May I ask why you are changing articles into redirects without preserving the content on those pages?

Welcome!
Hello, Quidam65, and welcome to Conservapedia!
We're glad you are here to edit. We ask that you read our Editor's Guide before you edit.
At the right are some useful links for you. You can include these links on your user page by putting "{{Useful links}}" on the page. Any questions--ask!
Thanks for reading, Quidam65!

Moving pages
When you see an article with a bad title, creating a new page and making the old page a redirect is not how you should do it. If you do that, you essentially wipe out the old page's history, which is important, and you probably hurt the page's location on search engines since the new page starts at zero views again while the old page (which would now be a redirect that nobody visits) has several thousand.
There is a tool that only certain editors have that allows one to change an article's title without having to create a new article and thus mess up the page history. When you see a page with a bad title, please ask one of those editors. I recommend User:DavidB4 or User:Aschlafly. Thanks! --1990'sguy (talk) 15:15, 21 January 2018 (EST)
Redirect pages
Hello,
May I ask why you are changing articles into redirects without preserving the content on those pages? (i.e. Bankruptcy petition, Bankruptcy law, Bankruptcy trustee, Bankruptcy judge, Bankruptcy estate, etc.) Redirects might be suitable, but shouldn't the page content be saved, perhaps on the page you are redirecting to? Thanks! --David B (TALK) 18:21, 2 March 2018 (EST)
