When trying to move a page to another already existing page the message "== Deletion required == The destination page "xyz" already exists. Do you want to delete it to make way for the move?" is prompted. When you tick "Yes, delete the page" and press "Delete and move" only the way gets cleared for the main page and not the respective subpages. Thus the old subpages stay where they were before and one ends up with different already existing subpages apparently of the same name in the new location which were not deleted to make place for the move of the subpages.

It will be nice if the automatic deletion of existing subpages prior to the move is possible, too. However, until this is possible message "Delete and move text" should probably be amended to

== Deletion required ==
The destination page "[[:$1]]" already exists.
Do you want to delete it to make way for the move? (not applicable to subpages)

or something similar.
