[Foundation-l] Restriction on page moves inpt.wikipedia.org - Wikimedia-l

18 Feb 2007

Thank you for the answers. 

Well, the decision was taken after almost three months of discutions, 
followed by a regular voting poll (the same used to choose official policies). 

The option that requires a 45-day-old account to move page was clearly the will of
majority.

If the decision is way to restrictive according to the Foundation, 
we'll have to choose the best option available.

Well, that's it. Thank you in advance
Dantadd

In my opinion, but of course i can not speak in any way for the foundation,
this is not an issue that is up to the foundation. The local community knows
best what they need, and I guess that if they find a developer that wants to
implement this, they can just ask him (her) to do it. I see no need to
discuss it all over here :-) It would perhaps be something different if you
prohibit editing for unregistered users etc maybe :-)

 No, it only requires some alterations of the site configuration file.
 Nothing major, actually. The main issue here is if it is acceptable to the
 Foundation.

 Hi Daniel, one question:  Was this conclusion reached from a "straw poll"
 or
 discussion?  Otherwise, it seems good, but it would probably involve a
 site-wide semi-protection against moves and upping the "new account
 cut-off"
 to 45-days.

 Hi everybody,

 In a recent poll on pt.wikipedia it was decided to restrict move
 pages to users with at least a 45-day-old registered account, the same
 minimum period to grant right to vote (but without the request of 100
 valid
 editions).

 I made a request on http://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9024 and
 it was suggested to consult the Foundation because the decision seems to
 be
 very restrictive.

 Well, the community decision was:

 First question (pro or con):
 *52 pro restriction
 *11 contro restriction

 Second (time restriction):
 *15 votes - 5 days
 *8 votes - 15 days
 *38 votes - 45 days

 So, I'd like to know what you think about it and what could be done after
 this decision.

 Thank you,
 Dantadd
