Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give List of roads in Nepal a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.

- You were warned about this in February 2020. Graham87 (talk) 15:58, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- I am sorry. I wanted to move manually but there was already a page with same name was exist so I just copied and pasted. Can you please move this page because we can see List of roads in Nepal is actually not a page to list the items. The content which is available on this page should be on a main page related to roads in Nepal. Anyway thank you. 👤Raju💌 16:16, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
- I'm not comfortable doing that, because it's mostly a list; also see Category:Lists of roads by country. I'd suggest starting a requested move; for more help doing that beyond the above-linked page, ask at the teahouse. Graham87 (talk) 18:29, 21 June 2024 (UTC)
