When you rename the page (no matter the name change), the history will always be recorded, for before, and after the name-change.

FAQ

"Why should I rename/move a page, instead of creating a new one? The rename page function keeps the page history of the article, before and after the rename, in one place, so that all contributors receive credit as required by the terms of the Creative Commons license used at Wikia. Cutting text out of one page and pasting it into a new one causes these acknowledgements to be lost."
