 * If I build a new page and use an existing permalink on it, will anything get 
   messed up? Will all my analytics keep historical data from that permalink? Basically,
   I built an new, updated page and want it to have the same link as the old (I 
   will be changing the old page’s link to something else)

 * Hello,
    You can choose one link for one page only. Not one link for multiple 
   page. It won’t work as expected. If you create a new page then set the old url
   for this page only and change the old page url to something other. thanks.
