We cannot let this into the Gadget namespace as it is not a gadget. It'll have to get a new name.

We just need to run namespaceDupes.php right?

Yeah, I'm running it foreachwiki on terbium.

krenair@terbium:~$ grep Gadget T109236 
enwiki:  id=6515332 ns=0 dbk=Gadget:_Invention,_Travel,_&_Adventure -> Gadget:Invention,_Travel,_&_Adventure (no conflict) DRY RUN ONLY
krenair@terbium:~$

Only on enwiki

We cannot let this into the Gadget namespace as it is not a gadget. It'll have to get a new name.

The script needs to check for the content model of the target and choose another way to resolve the conflict when the old content model cannot be changed to target content model?

Another way is to use api's action=move with pageid parameter and move the page before running the script. Update: User should suppress redirect to avoid an inaccessible redirect (needs sysop rights)

Now there's Talk:Gadget:Invention, Travel, & Adventure which is not viewable or renameable in any way.

MaxSem raised the priority of this task from Low to High.

Ok, that was "amusing". Fixed:
