How to move pages

Paul, please use the "move" link at the top of the page when you want to change its title. (See Help: Tips and tricks). Simply deleting the contents and pasting it elsewhere does not preserve the page history.

Moreover, I'm not enthisiastic at double titles like AGI (Agilux). I think we should settle for one of either AGI or Agilux and make the other a redirect. This is for people using the search box to find the page more easily.

Apologies

It may be absolutely obvious now, but I hadn't noticed that tab before!

I just got a bit confused - I added the "Agilux" and "whoosh" was taken to a new page which was not what I expected. Reacting through sheer ignorance (sorry) I just cut and pasted!

I agree about the double titles. AGI is the correct name of the parent company. This is the name every one knows. However the camera Had a "Agilux" made in England badge on them.I have now deleted AGI and substitute Agilux. I have also re-tiled Agimatic, "Agimatic & Agima" which reflects the contens of the page better

The meaning of a redirect

In the context of a wiki site, a "redirect" is not simply a page with a short description redirecting the reader to another page via a link. It is a blank page containing only the following syntax: #redirect [[other_page]]. If the reader types the name of the redirected page in the search box, the site will automatically point him to the "other_page".

I modified the AGI page accordingly. However, in the short description that was there, I read "Aeronautical and General Instruments - Purley, UK" while I'm reading here that it is in Croydon. Does it make a difference?
