I rewrote this article from scratch, without input from the useless stub that was
Workplace Health and Safety Directive. Why would that require complicated moving and attribution? The only sources are on the page.

Attribution for an article should be kept on the same page. Doesn't matter if you change one letter or every word, doesn't matter if the previous efforts were useless stubs. Just move it properly instead of getting into an edit war.

If I insert my changes to article
Directive 89/391/EEC as seen
here into this article and then move this article to
Directive 89/391/EEC, will I be reverted? There is no reasoning behind doing it like that because I use nothing of this article - even the name is a mystery because it's not official - but it's annoying to not be allowed to contribute content due to misunderstanding of the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License. Please respond.

Forget licenses, edit away (but
in your own words). Just make sure if you want to change the article title, then rename it properly. You probably won't be able to do this yourself now since the redirect where you want to rename has been edited and reverted. So you'll have to make a
move request for an admin to do it. Technical requests will happen quickly, but will be reversed if someone disagrees with the name change. A better way is to start a discussion (instructions at the link) and then an admin will decide at the end of the discussion whether to change the name or not. You can continue to edit the article while the discussion is underway.

Hekerui Or you can move the page properly first (not copy paste) and then make the changes. What you should not do is create a topic on the same subject with just a title change like you did. It is disruptive and not helpful. Your title I think is marginally better than the original so I don't it is a problem but others may disagree.

Workplace Health and Safety Directive →
Directive 89/391/EEC – The article title is not found in the legislation (unlike, for example, Regulation (EU) 2016/679) and individual directives based on this legal act refer to it as Directive 89/391/EEC.

Support. Standard practice for EU (and indeed all) legislation: use the unambiguous and official title.
