by taking the old ININ page and renaming it “delete” it took the history over there to a page named “delete”.
Assuming gleb made a new inin page; that would be a second set of history. and be making a mess of the wiki in general.
Nothing fancy; probably not purposefully done to hide the edit history; rather probably done to add permanence to the action of trying to delete the page (and had the effect of messing with the edit history as well)
I think argument for you editing the wiki on InIn to correct gjm’s version is much better than the argument for Gleb editing the wiki on InIn; there’s a reason Wikipedia has a rule against autobiographies outside of user pages.

Thank you.
Thanks for figuring this out, all! I have little wiki editing experience, so this is quite helpful knowledge.
You need to stop editing that article, GJM had it to a good place.
I think GJM was too harsh.
