Dear all,
lets see if anyone can help me (us, since i'm speaking for the wiki.pt)...

Recently we are having problems with a user who finds very funny to
create successive accounts with the purpose of moving pages around in a
most irritating way. This is very unsual for the wiki.pt, where
mass-vandalism problems are fortunately rare. We are aware, however,
that they will increase in the future and this kind of incident will
repeat itself. We talked about this thing in the Esplanada (the pt
village pump) and agreed to start a serious discussion about limiting
the [page move] function, as already happens in the english wikipedia.

So, how can we limit new users from moving pages and in what terms? Can
we decide a fixed number of editions from which the user can move pages?
How does this work??
