What is the effect on page histories of edits to the 'master' page, each of the series' pages, and series' pages that are overwritten? Thanks

  • master page: if you mean the pages, where the link is, no effect
  • each of the series pages: they are created like any other page, the summary given when filling in the form will appear as the summary for every page
  • pages that are overwritten: they will appear as any other edit in the history, so if you accidentally overwrote something, you can revert it as any other edit

Does each series page have a link back to its "master" page, like SIO does (and i suppose also like Subobjects have) - that's what I meant by master page. I guess one can delete such master page, leaving series' pages intact?

The concept of a master page in the sense of SIO does not apply here. Every event of the series gets its own page, so there is no need for a master page. So there is no need to delete the master page, because it will not even get created.

But yes, if you already have a 'master' page for the whole series, e.g. because you used SIO before, you can delete it afterwards. However, as I pointed out, the #serieslink parser function will not automatically create all the new pages if you just replace #set_recurring_event by #serieslink. You will have to insert all the data again.
