{{Requested move/dated|Template:ArticleHistory}}
 
[[:Template:Article history]] → {{no redirect|Template:ArticleHistory}} – This was moved to "article history" at the end of October 2012 (see above). Prior to the move, the template had been at ArticleHistory for about 5 years. I am the main editor affected by this move, as I run a bot that processes the ArticleHistory template. Haivng it at a consistent name is helpful, and indeed, prior to the October move, only about 21 out of 31,700 transclusions of the template used "article history". Even now, 32856 transclusions out of 32094 use "ArticleHistory", which is currently a redirect. The reasons given for the October move included "Discoverability, consistency, elimination of undesirable legacy naming (which might encourage new template authors to erroneously think CamelCase is a good idea): this is, at present, the only high-profile template that I know of which has not been moved in this way." To the extent the CamelCase style is involved, moving this template made it no longer consistent with other CamCase styled templates, including especially the talk page template strongly connected with this one. Therefore, for simplicity, consistency, and other reasons, I propose restoring the template to its original name.
