Copy Log => Create Page For Tag?

[JohnnFour]

Hey Jochen,

In the Log copy feature, what does Create a page for tag do?

It would be cool to add an option in that screen for deleting the existing log after copying it

The current log entry gets copied to a new page under the tag you gave.

Sure the log entry could be deleted after creating a page based on it.

Different verb - different intention.
Copy => I want another one over here too
Move => I want this one over there only
So... copy or move? How to allow?
A "delete after copy" tickbox is one one way - as long as it defaults to off maybe?
But then you get into how to do bulk actions well...
Copy Logs from A to B? Over and over gets painful if you meant to move them.
Move Logs from A to B? As a seperate action / verb sounds less painful in bulk operations.

Not sure what the right answer is because I don't know how often any of the cases come up for folks.
I just know that when I want to do an action and it has a tickbox option that is really a different action ... doing the same thing over and over gets more tedious having to re-tick the box each time.

Don't add an extra box to check. Either "copy" (end up with original and a copy) or "move" (this one is now somewhere else). Seems clearer to me than changing the meaning of "copy" sometimes.
