Mobile Proton Torpedo Launcher-2a Artillery
Merged into List of Star Wars ground vehicles John Nagle 17:13, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Article was scheduled for deletion via "prod" after the merge, but "prod" was deleted. So we have to do this the hard way. --John Nagle 17:13, 30 April 2006 (UTC)


 * If you've merged the data elsewhere, we can't delete this article, as doing so would destroy the edit history, and thus violate the GFDL. Just put in a redirect. -- Middenface 17:22, 30 April 2006 (UTC)


 * You can't redirect into the middle of an article, unfortunately. Regular links can redirect to a bookmark, but redirects can't. You can write redirects like that, but they don't work.  It's a known bug, and a big problem with merges like this.  But search will still find the material.   --John Nagle 17:44, 30 April 2006 (UTC)


 * That doesn't mean we can delete the article. -- Middenface 17:50, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I believe you can redirect into the middle of an article. See the redirect at Brillig which redirects to Jabberwocky. Fan1967 19:55, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Nope, it doesn't work. Even with the pointer, it still puts you at the top of the redirected page. My mistake. Fan1967 23:07, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Right. And this is exactly the situation in which that bug is a problem.  --John Nagle 03:39, 1 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Delete and copy/paste the edit history into the talk page of List of Star Wars ground vehicles -- Hirudo 17:52, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect to List of Star Wars ground vehicles in order to keep edit history, also might be a potential search term. BryanG 00:29, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Redirect per BryanG. -- ReyBrujo 06:53, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
