Anyone else got the time to deal with this bullshit? Special:Contributions/Sonkschel -- I only wish I'd been able to block that dick sooner, but here we are. If nobody gets to it, I'll be able to in like six hours or more. --Buddy (talk) 01:42, 24 October 2012 (CEST)

I have considered removing the right to move pages from regular users. A lot of them tend not to know that they can, and the most common users of the move page right tend to be spammers and abusers. --Sviptalk 09:09, 24 October 2012 (CEST)
I'm definitely in favor of that. It's rare to be needed, except maybe new episodes and characters whose names are in flux before broadcast, so there's no real reason it should be a readily available ability. --Buddy (talk) 09:13, 24 October 2012 (CEST)

Oh good, Quolnok is all over that! Awesome work, man. --Buddy (talk) 12:42, 24 October 2012 (CEST)

Well, I put the articles back where they should be, but I'm gonna have to leave some of the redirects for someone else to clean up. Sadly, I'd been on the site moments before this started happening. Yes, we can definitely take that ability away from regular users. - Quolnok (talk) 13:26, 24 October 2012 (CEST)
(Sighs) I can see why we'd need to. I do know that I can move pages, and I'm not an admin… but if we really need to, I can accept it. Kif (talk) 03:04, 25 October 2012 (CEST)
Happened again. Special:Contributions/Cliiclau is blocked, edits need reversion. - Quolnok (talk) 04:53, 8 November 2012 (CET)
Yeah, that's it. I am taking away the move right from autoconfirmed users. Only sysops may move pages now. --Sviptalk 11:51, 9 November 2012 (CET)
Now I've reverted the damage. It was particularly difficult, because a bug in the way Apache rewrites URLs means I could not move pages with ampersands (&) in them, so I had to use a maintenance script. It was possible, however. Don't worry, you can view pages with ampersands in their titles and perform other actions on them, just not move them. But I doubt we will do that often, anyway. --Sviptalk 13:34, 9 November 2012 (CET)
