Forum:Accidentally created new page while logged out

Is there any way to attribute the new page to my account? Or is it forever attributed to a random IP address?

 * Edits cannot be reattributed without direct database access. - FTFY. -452 18:27, November 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * The easiest thing you can do is delete the page and recreate it. If you're not an admin yourself, you may need to log out and post a comment proving you're the same user.
 * A more advanced way to it would be to import an revision with a date from before the actual creation of the page, which would appear before the IP date, but I don't think it would appear in your history, or the new page log, which is what I imagine you're interested in. -452 18:27, November 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * If you're the admin you can do the following (if you're not, you can ask an admin to do it for you):
 * 1. Export the page
 * 2. delete the page
 * 3. edit the XML to change the attribution
 * 4. import the XML file
 * This will change the attribution of the edits, but it's quite a lot of work.
