The MediaWiki software is playing silly-beggars at the moment, and it's interfering with my attempts to implement the "Featured Article" feature on the Beatles Wiki.

I think I've got it up and running in the way intended by the user who devised it 5-6 years ago, but it struck me that the articles "Here Comes the Sun" (day 14) and "Love" (day 29) should be the other way around, so that "Love" is featured on Valentine's Day.

Arranging this should have been a simple matter of moving the templates "F/14" to "F/this", "F/29" to "F/14", and "F/this" to "F/29", all without redirects of course. However, this doesn't work, because trying to do the move gives the error "page already exists, delete it?" (or words to that effect), and then checking the "Yes, delete it" box and trying the move again results in "page doesn't exist".

Hence I currently have Template:F/14x which is supposed to be F/14, and Template:F/this which should be F/29. Perhaps the moves will work if you do them, assuming you can spare a few minutes. In any case, I thought the staff should know about this glitch.
