>>Do you really need the history of the page?  If you have made it perfect or at least good enough then surely that is all that really matters?  I think it's nice to keep the history if several people have contributed to a page.  If it's just your own edits then history only shows you your own learning curve and all the mistakes you made that you might never make again now.  is, rethink bugs & problems until you can see their good side and make them into features ;)

The target page had been deleted. That page [fortunately I did take a JIC copy] which I have re-instated.. It was late and I was tired. Does anyone have any idea as to where it would have gone? I re-created a page on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/phillw/Activities but it shows as brand new, with no history... so It got renamed..... but to where?
