   Format: MarkdownItexFixed now. (Didn't see that Ulrik was signing pages without a whitespace). Tim, you know how to fix such things yourself, right? It takes more keystrokes to make an announcement here.

   Format: MarkdownItexI tried to change the title but was told that a page existed already. I thought it better to check that there was no reason other than a slip-up for the two pages.

   Format: MarkdownItexSo here is how to fix such issues: 1. Go to the entry which exists but shouldn't. 1. Clear its content. Rename it to something that is guaraneteed not to collide with anything else. Following Toby, a good choice is to rename it to "'original-title' > history ". 1. Then (this is important) open that old entry again and clear it again. This is because when renaming then the software automatically adds the old name as a redirect. That redirect has to be removed again by hand. 1. Finally go to the entry that should exist and add whatever was missing that led to the confusion. In the present case: add to it a redirect to the name of the entry that we just cleared.
