Hi all, We're here in Tokyo with some members of the Chrome dev rel team having a mini hackathon on WPD. Moving pages is something with a lot of gotchas in MediaWiki in general, but even more in WPD based on our use of queries and such. As a concrete example, we just tried to move http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/apis/file/methods/msClose to http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/apis/file/methods/close , given that the method is not IE specific anymore. However, when you move it the link on http://docs.webplatform.org/wiki/apis/file/Blob disappears. To fix it, you have to remove the redirect that was left behind at apis/file/methods/msClose. Weird! I have two questions: do we have a guide anywhere on the site that explains the gotchas for moving a page? I vaguely recall us creating that in the past but now can't find it. And secondly, should we limit the Move capability to admins, since it's possible for even generally knowledgeable users to wreak havoc? --Alex
