MN zonation → Mammal Neogene zones – I found that unlike the correctly named Mammal Paleogene zones, this article is named "MN zonation," which is strange considering it's inconsistent with the name of the Paleogene counterpart, and in the European paleontological record, it is commonly referred to as "Mammal Neogene Zones . The particular name "MN zonation" also makes looking up the "Mammal Neogene Zones" term more confusing considering that even the uppercased "MN Zonation" isn't a valid redirect. I suggest that the article should therefore be renamed to "Mammal Neogene zones," with more redirects for this page and the MP zone page. PrimalMustelid (talk) 17:51, 13 April 2023 (UTC)


 * It's been 6 days since the requested move was open, tagging @Hemiauchenia and @FunkMonk for some consensuses on the issue. PrimalMustelid (talk) 14:05, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Seems logical, I even think you can just do it? If the other title doesn't even exist, there is no move conflict. FunkMonk (talk) 14:10, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Alright, in that case, I can create a new page and transfer this page's contents then place a redirect link then. As the comment below states, the "Mammal Paleogene zone" page's contents should be transferred to "Mammal Paleogene zones" additionally, so do I have permission to move that page's contents since it's probably uncontroversial, or should I open up another move request first?

 * To preserve the edit history, the correct way to move it to, well, click "move" under "more". The way you describe would obscure the edit history, and is discouraged. FunkMonk (talk) 14:33, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Alright, I performed some moves for the Mammal Neogene zones and Mammal Paleogene zones pages via the more > move option. PrimalMustelid (talk) 14:45, 19 April 2023 (UTC)


 * Agreed. It should be named to match its counterpart, currently at Mammal Paleogene zone. However, as the articles deal with many zones, perhaps Mammal Paleogene zone should be moved to Mammal Paleogene zones (that will need page move rights to deal with the redirect). —  Jts1882 &#124; talk 14:16, 19 April 2023 (UTC)
