Is there an easier way for users to rename a page other than copying over content from the old page to a new one and deleting the old one?
Thanks in advance
As far as I know there isn't a 'rename' as such. You can MOVE a page to a new name but note that this really creates a redirect from the original page to the new page.

Moving a page *does* rename the page - it also happens to create a *new* page containing a redirect under the old page name afterwards, but you can safely delete that if you don't want/need it.
All the history etc. of the actual page in question will continue to exist under the new title.
That is indeed good to know. Almost always happy to be corrected.
