Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give Pectenodoris trilineata a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.

In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Requests for history merge. Thank you. --Animalparty!

 * Note: I have placed requests at Requested moves/Technical requests to properly move both Pectenodoris trilineata and Pectenodoris aurora to Mexichromis trilineata and Mexichromis aurora, respectively. Please do not edit either until the moves are complete. In the case of P. trilineata, the detailed edit history goes back to 2009, which is completely ignored/obscured by cut-and-paste-moves. We should never have duplicate articles on the same subject (in this case the same species under different names): that creates redundant content forks. --Animalparty! (talk) 04:28, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
