I just noticed a instance of this problem on [[wikibooks:pt]]: An user created
[[wikibooks:pt:Category:Patês e pastas]] explaining a how to do a recipe, but
such content should have been added to a page of our Cookbook (in the "Main"
namespace), such as [[Livro de receitas/Patê de frango]].

In order to fix that, another user copied the text from one page to the other,
but forgot to indicate the original author of the recipe. Usually, this second
error could be easily fixed by merging the histories of both pages, but the
procedure requires the ability to move the source page to the target, as
explained on [[WP:HISTMERGE]]. Since we can't move a page to outside "Category"
namespace, such solution doesn't apply.

We could just delete the new page and recreate it making sure to indicate the
author properly in the edit summary, but this is not the ideal solution:
authors cited in this way are not properly cited in the PDF files generated by
collection extension (see bug 28064). So, we ended up in a situation where,
involuntarily, we are infringing the terms of the CC-BY-SA license.

Having both bugs unsolved makes it difficult to guarantee that the authors are
properly  credited when they contribute to Wikimedia wikis if their first edit
happens to be made in the wrong place.
