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??
The feature in question is enabled on en, de and fr. It denies page moves to
new users based on a heuristic which is currently the same for all wikis.
For security reasons I'd prefer it if the exact algorithm was not
publicised; it's subject to change without notice in any case. I can discuss
it privately with known members of the community.
We can enable it for pt if there is a consensus in favour. I know that might
be difficult without more public information, but in any case, remember that
you, the community, are in control. If it causes problems, you can discuss
improvements with me or one of the other developers, or ask that it be
switched off.
