Special:MassMove breaking a couple dozen pages

Thanks for writing a userscript. You may want to consider adding some error handling for the "find-replace" function, so that if it doesn't "find", it doesn't "replace", and add a pointless prefix to dozens of pages (or at least prompts before carrying it out). Exemplis grata:

• I have to speedy 22 pages and then fix 22 redirects also :( jp×g🗯️ 01:41, 7 August 2024 (UTC)

User:JPxG, not sure if this helped but I think this fixes the problem? Basically, make the new and old move name the same when the prefix removal fails. If the old and new name are the same, then I am guessing it won't move anything and issue an error. If you are able to test this, let me know. It seems to work on the one test I did.
