Changing pages for GU52

I am trying to update the wizard abilities for GU52 and have run into a problem. One of the old spell names is "Engulf", which is a level 3 spell. The new name is "Incinerate". Unfortunately, "Incinerate" used to be the name of the level 17 spell, so the page name is already used and in the history for "Incinerate III". Can someone with more editing priveleges than me please change the name of the "Engulf" page to "Incinerate"? I tried to find how to do this in the editing help, etc., but couldn't. That could just be blindness on user part...... Roy33pdx 16:28, September 7, 2009 (UTC)roy33pdx

The fastest way is to place {{Rename|Incinerate}} on top of the Engulf page. -- ( Talk ) 16:34, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

To expand on what Chilli said... only administrators or users with rollback rights can move the pages properly in those cases, since you cannot move a page over a redirect that is not to that page, whereas admins and rollback users can move that redirect out of the way without leaving yet another redirect. The template Chilli suggested is a way of letting the admins/rollback users know when a page needs to be moved. -- lordebon 17:29, September 7, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, guys. This worked great. Roy33pdx
