The page will <strong>not</strong> be moved if there is already a page at the new title, unless the latter is a redirect and has no past edit history.
This means that you can rename a page back to where it was renamed from if you make a mistake, and you cannot overwrite an existing page.

This can be a drastic and unexpected change for a popular page;
please be sure you understand the consequences of this before proceeding.
