Hey there. When moving pages (particularly large, high traffic ones like the Prophet pages with a lot of pages linking to them) I'd recommend raising the issue on the talk page first before just going ahead and doing it. There are tools available to move pages much smoother than manually blanking then copy and pasting content across (while also keeping edit histories intact), and in the case of staff we also have bots on hand to go through and cleanup any links that need changing if necessary, so the site isn't covered in redirects. Thanks. [[User:BaconShelf|BaconShelf]] ([[User talk:BaconShelf|talk]]) 14:47, July 2, 2019 (EDT) | Hey there.

:Hi! Sorry about that, I was trying to move ''Prophet of ____'' to ''High Prophet of _____'' for the Hierarchs as that's their official title. Unfortunately it didn't go as smoothly as planned, some of the pages I tried moving to already had redirects so it wouldn't let me so I tried doing it manually with the talk pages too. Sorry that it ended up messier than planned. I'll use the talk page in the future[[User:Editorguy|Editorguy]] ([[User talk:Editorguy|talk]]) 02:01, July 3, 2019 (EDT) | |||
:This case in question regarding the Prophets has a "interesting" case to be made that I'd like to suggest. But I'll be making that on the forum later.-[[User:CIA391|CIA391]] ([[User talk:CIA391|talk]]) 15:49, July 2, 2019 (EDT) | :This case in question regarding the Prophets has a "interesting" case to be made that I'd like to suggest.
