Description

@donsizemore

On https://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/admin/dataverses-datasets.html the "Move a Dataverse Collection" description reads

Moves a Dataverse collection whose id is passed to a new Dataverse collection whose id is passed.

A Dataverse collection need not be "new" to accommodate a child collection, and in UNIX, the mv binary would overwrite its second argument with the first. Propose that it should read

Moves a Dataverse collection whose ID is passed into an extant Dataverse collection whose ID is passed.

Secondly, I appreciate that this documentation belongs in the Admin Guide, but is there a reason these commands aren't linked from the API Guide?

Pull request forthcoming.
