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

[Anthere]

This answer is exactly correct.
This is not up to the Foundation.

First, having a software displaying different behavior depending on the 
language/project is a bad idea. It makes things very complex and users 
travelling from one language to another are likely to find this disturbing.

So, any change in that respect must be reflected in all languages (I 
presume the cutoff at 15 or 45 could be negociable depending on 
communities, but the concept of having a cutoff should be global).

Such a global change of the software should not be initiated by the 
Foundation, but by editors. This is something needed by editors, not by 
Foundation. There is no argument for a top down decision here :-)

Discussing it on mailing lists first or on wikis is the way to go.
