Define old history

How old is old history? How close to January 15, 2001? Christian75 (talk) 21:15, 23 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Christian75 – not sure of the timing, but I know the type. The ones I've seen most frequently are CamelCase and subpages. Many years ago due to technical restrictions, Wikipedia titles had to be in CamelCase, such as AppliedEthics. When the software was upgraded, the titles were changed and the old titles redirected to the new titles. Also, there was a time when subpages were allowed in mainspace, and subtopics were described on those subpages. An example is Anguilla/Economy. See the category for more.
