So, I'm going to do some work with Videoville Showtime (Canada). I want to move the page's name to VVS Films (Canada) because it seems they haven't gone by the full name in years. Their website doesn't mention "Videoville Showtime" at all and they are even copyrighted there as VVS at the page's bottom. The problem is that it is a preexisting redirect. Is this type of switcheroo possible? Also on a slightly unrelated note I highly doubt the 2nd logo is still in use, and I certainly don't have the expertise to find the enddate.

Edit: Wikipedia claims that it is a "does business as" case, where legally it is still Videoville Showtime but they otherwise are only referred to as VVS. What do we do in that situation?

Actually, a lot of the Videoville Showtime page is uneditable because there are weird transparent boxes that block out editing over everything. What is up with that? I really want to describe the new logo (currently erroneously described by me on the page as a variant of the previous one).

Looks Like Camenati moved the page for you. In future, use the markup #REDIRECT [[Page name]]

Also, IDK what the reason for those boxes is, but I'm not a big user of the visual editor anyway. If you use the source editor, you should have no issues.
