On 6 June, the contents of [[Harringworth Viaduct]] were moved to [[Welland Viaduct]] by cut and paste, with the former left as a redirect. There have been subsequent edits to [[Welland Viaduct]]. Is it possible for an admin to merge the histories of these two articles please?&nbsp;&ndash; [[User:Tivedshambo|Tivedshambo]]<small> [[User talk:Tivedshambo|(talk)]]</small> 19:36, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

== Can't create AfD page for [[IEEE 754r/Annex Z]] due to slash embedded in article name ==

{{resolved}}

Trying to follow the steps at [[WP:AFD]] to nominate for deletion [[IEEE 754r/Annex Z]], the 'subst:afd2' expands into a nonsense string due to the slash embedded in the article name. This prevents me from creating the deletion discussion page. Does anyone know how to escape the slash? Note that this article is not a subpage; the slash is part of the name. Any help would be greatly appreciated. [[User:EdJohnston|EdJohnston]] 19:59, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

:The pagename [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IEEE 754r/Annex Z]] looks fine to me--<small>'''VectorPotential'''</small>^{[[User_talk:Vector Potential|Talk]]} 20:08, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

::I created the page without trouble. I'm guessing that when you were trying to create the AfD page, you neglected to manually replace the {{SUBPAGENAME}} with [[IEEE 754r/Annex Z]], which is necessary when nominating /-containing titles. You should probably go overwrite or add to my nomination depending on how well it reflects your reasons. --[[User:tjstrf|tjstrf]] <small>[[User talk:tjstrf|talk]]</small> 20:14, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
