I just sort of envisaged a "is this image fair
use? No? [[Move it to

Wikipedias. It doesn't seem like something that should be inherently
restricted, either, since the action can be carried out manually by
anyone...
As the feature was formerly implemented, at least, you downloaded an
XML file to your hard drive with Special:Export and then uploaded it
with Special:Import, which basically meant that the target accepted
your upload without question and you could rewrite page history. If
this is no longer the case, then it would be worth considering easier
interwiki moves, at least.
But do we really want *interwiki* page-move vandalism? You'd have to
go to the target to revert it, if it's restricted to autoconfirmed
like normal moves you possibly wouldn't be able to move it back until
SUL, if it's not restricted then it's even easier than normal
page-move vandalism, etc. So restricting it to admins is a good idea,
until we get an intermediate "trusted" group of some kind.
