Define old history
How old is old history? How close to January 15, 2001?

Hi
Christian75 – not sure of the timing, but I know the type. The ones I've seen most frequently are
CamelCase and
subpages. Many years ago due to technical restrictions, Wikipedia titles had to be in CamelCase, such as
AppliedEthics. When the software was upgraded, the titles were changed and the old titles redirected to the new titles. Also, there was a time when subpages were allowed in mainspace, and subtopics were described on those subpages. An example is
Anguilla/Economy. See
the category for more. Paine Ellsworthput'r there 03:20, 17 February 2017 (UTC)reply
