Sorry, I was getting confused because I'm not used to dealing with these types of situations (pages being moved multiple times). I originally thought that some pages might have been overwritten, as in, they had their content completely replaced with new content from a different page. This no longer appears to be the case.

If you can bear with me some more, I would like to verify that my new understanding is correct.

When a page is moved, it's history is moved as well. Similar to how the content on the original page is replaced with a redirect, the history is replaced with the "moved to" entry. The original content is moved to the new page and the original history is moved to the new page's history.

Therefore, in the situation above, the following occurred:


 * 1) "Weapon 2" was moved to "Weapon 3"; leaving a redirect
 * 2) the redirect on "Weapon 2" (to "Weapon 3") was replaced with other content
 * 3) the new content on "Weapon 2" was moved to "Delete page"; leaving a redirect
 * 4) the redirect on "Weapon 2" (to "Delete page") was removed
 * 5) "Weapon 2" was moved to "Weapon 2a"; leaving a redirect
 * 6) "Weapon 2" was moved to "Weapon 2d"

Thus, if I am looking for the original content of "Weapon 2", I need to view "Weapon 3"; which has been deleted.

Is that correct?
