I would be wary of allowing somebody who has been logged-in for 5 minutes the ability to move pages around so easily. Again we should have an 'old hand' status to start porting these types of sysop functions to long-time users (with the goal of eventually porting all sysop functions as soon as safety mechanisms are established for each). There should be a minimum expectation that those with these abilities have been exposed to our policies and naming conventions. There is also the issue that if a newbie make a mistake during a move only a sysop can correct it because the old page title needs to be deleted before the move can be reversed.

I know the automatic promotion idea will take some time to implement but creating an interface for sysops to do this manually has already been done for phase II so should be easy enough for phase III. We should begin working toward phasing-out sysop status by at least porting the move feature to old hands.

I agree that I do need to implement some auto-promotion feature, but Sysop status is never "going away" as far as I'm concerned. It is an unavoidable fact of reality that some people are trustworthy and others are not, and human judgment is required to tell the difference. That fact must continue to be reflected in our process, regardless of any pretty-sounding egalitarian dogma to the contrary.
