Manual:Page moving/ru
Moving a page causes the page title to change while the page ID remains the same, and the revision history is retained.
If a redirect is created under the moved page's former page title, it will have a new page ID.
Pages can be moved using Special:MovePage (SpecialMovepage.php) or action=move (ApiMove.php).
Moving a page, and then moving ID again, can create double redirects.
Database

API
