Talk:Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service

Naming
The official name according to is "Parks and Wildlife Service", so IMO the article should be there - unless there is another "Parks and Wildlife Service" in the world in which case it should be disambiguated (discussion at WP:AWNB).

Also, page moves should be done using the "move" option at the top of the page, not by cutting and pasting the text from one article to another. Otherwise the edit history of the page gets lost. I won't change it this time as the new page is already many times longer than the old one. -- Chuq 00:36, 2 December 2006 (UTC)


 * According to that page and all the other pages I can see it is listed as Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service and only referred to as Parks and Wildlife Service after the full name has been established (and it was redirected not moved, so no history has been lost).

 * What I mean was - if you look at History of "Tasmania Parks and Wildlife Service", there is nothing before December 2. The rest of the history is at History of "Parks and Wildlife Service".  This happens when content is copied out of one article and pasted into another; to other editors it appears that the person doing the moving wrote the entire article (as it was when the page move happened).  Doing a move using the "move" tab at the top will also move the talk page, the history, and so on.  See Help:Moving a page for more. -- Chuq 01:04, 2 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, actually I did...I'd already written the whole thing here - I was just shutting a window from one of the wikilinks I was checking when I noticed the other link (actually to Parks & Wildlife Service). I suppose I could have cut it out of here and pasted into Parks and Wildlife Service and then moved it, but it seemed rather pointless for a one line stub which was redirected anyway. The real mistake was not searching harder for the article, but I was going off the original link from Thylacine which was for Tasmanian National Parks and Wildlife Service (not much help).

 * Ah,well that makes sense then. Didn't intend to hassle you, just didn't know if you knew or not and wanted to make sure you knew for next time :) -- Chuq 02:52, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
