It occurs to me that I hadn't attempted to actually move a page manually into the board_thread namespace - and I've just discovered that it indeed is not possible.

I created test thread, then attempted to move a page to that name, and it failed the first time due to the name changing in the move box between submissions, but when fixing that name every time - it worked, or at least it tried to work.

The page was moved, to a page with the same name, in the main namespace.

So, the board thread url was: wiki/Board_Thread:test/@comment-452-20121203183957 So I moved it to wiki/Board_Thread:test/@comment-452-20121203183957 - but it didn't move it into the forum, it moved it to a page named "Board_Thread:test/@comment-452-20121203183957" in the main namespace.

These two diff views showed the diff for each separate page, while just ?action=history only showed one of them: wiki/Board_Thread:test/@comment-452-20121203183957?diff=next&oldid=103868 wiki/Board_Thread:test/@comment-452-20121203183957?diff=prev&oldid=103869

Additionally, while viewing old revisions for any forum post, the edit button will be shown at the top of the page. If the edit button is pressed, it is possible to edit the page, and submit the changes. On the most recent revision, the "add topic" button will be shown instead. Using the button will cause a page to be created in the main namespace.

It seems to me that all of these situations should have been tested during development.
