Hello, [[User:Finellach|Finellach]]! Thank you for all this information! I'm quite new at this and so I'm prone to making mistakes. I can't find the two boxes that need unticking, though. Can you be a bit more specific? Thank you in advance! ([[User talk:Gbasaraba|talk]])

When you go to Actions->Move you will go to the move page, now there as you could see is the box where you can edit i.e. insert the new name where you re moving the page/file and below it there is a box where you can give a reason for it. Below everything you have to boxes which are automatically ticket. One is "Leave a redirect behind" and the other one is "Watch source page and target page". You should untick the first one so it doesn't leave a redirect behind. [[User:Finellach|Finellach]] ([[User talk:Finellach|talk]])

You can move/rename the page so that should be your first option before creating a new one. I am writing you this because you just made two more pages and now there are three identical articles with variants of the name for the same entity: Voivodeship of Maramorus, Voivodeship of Maramures, Voivodeship of Marmatia. This is not the first time I saw you do this. The way you can rename/move to the page is: click on "Actions" on the upper left side->move->write in upper field the name of the article where you want to move it. Finellach (talk)

Edit: I have deleted Maramures and Marmatia pages since the other one seems to be your preference. But again, please use move/rename option first before making a new page. You did the same with Litovoi/Litova and at least one other page. Finellach (talk)

Hello again, quick note...when you are moving a page and especially files do NOT leave a redirect behind (there are two boxes which you need to untick at the bottom), this way by creating a redirect you are clogging the website with bunch of non-existent files. Also please note where the file and the articles/pages are linked and edit them so they are linking to the new/renamed pages and files. Finellach (talk)
