Talk:Sum of Reciprocals of Primes is Divergent

Does anyone have any interest in either getting rid of Proof 1 or Proof 2 (not both). They are both just the same Euler argument. --Theweakestlink (talk) 14:42, 17 May 2017 (EDT)

Take note of the importance of the links at the bottom. Your future cooperation is expected. --prime mover (talk) 15:13, 17 May 2017 (EDT)

This is sufficiently vague to the point that I have no idea what you're talking about. Feel free to tell me which edits you didn't appreciate though. --Theweakestlink (talk) 15:51, 17 May 2017 (EDT)

You moved stuff from proof 4 to proof 2, so the "next" and previous" links at the bottom of the page in the Sources section that pointed to this page were no longer valid. When you move stuff around like this, it is important to make sure that the links to such pages are updated so as to preserve integrity.

Also note that there was a subpage which also needed to be renamed from "Proof 4" to "Proof 2". --prime mover (talk) 16:00, 17 May 2017 (EDT)

I could have simply just changed the order of the pages being transcluded for the same effect. But then you'd have have hyperlinks that didn't make much sense like Proof 4 --Theweakestlink (talk) 16:26, 17 May 2017 (EDT)

Standard procedure under these circumstances is to do a "what links here" and edit those pages as appropriate. If content is moved around radically like this, contributors who do so are then expected to correct all the links as necessary.

It is in fact unusual (and not recommended) to delete a page and cover it material copied and pasted from another one. The usual procedure is to do a "move", which results in a redirect being implemented. Once the redirect is there, it is more straightforward to find instances and correct the links, before then replacing that redirect page with your new stuff. --prime mover (talk) 16:34, 17 May 2017 (EDT)
