Yes, preloading one kind of content and then trying to turn it into another will cause an error. That's by design, though admittedly the problem should be reported in a nicer way.

Try renaming the page you are trying to preload so it also has the .css extension. Please let me know whether that works, I think it should.

Anyway: For certain kinds of content automatic conversion could be supported, I suppose. But that needs a bit more thought.

I got the error "The desired destination uses a different content model. Can not convert from wikitext to CSS." when I tried to move the page.

Ugh. Damn. Of course. This is also by design, though this design seems a bit too restrictive. I'll think about how to best fix this.

Fix for the preload issue I70656b41. Fix for the move issue to follow.

Hm... will have to think about the moving stuff again. A move generally doesn't create a revision, an automatic conversion would require that. Since moving between content models wasn't part of the original request, I consider this fixed, pending positive review of the patch.

Patch merged.

I've moved all to .css, but the problem still remains: http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usu%C3%A1ria:Aleth_Bot/Revis%C3%A3o_de_bloqueio

That is a different bug (due to the "section=new" in your link), which I've filed as bug 43008.

I got the error "The desired destination uses a different content model. Can
not convert from wikitext to CSS." when I tried to move the page.

That is bug 43049.
