[Foundation-l] set pagemoves to autoconfirmed - please read and comment

Tue Nov 27 01:06:03 UTC 2007

Hello, as said in the page in question 
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Metapub#set_pagemoves_to_autoconfirmed_-_please_read_and_comment> 
it does already apply to the big wikiprojects.
Since this is affecting majorly small wikis without large communities or 
even sysops Your solutions like protecting a page or requesting it at 
bugzilla are impossible. Therefore there is a bugreport but for all 
(small) wikis, because the page move is disabled for IPs and it does not 
make much sense if not also for _new_ registered users

Please look at the links in the bugreport, thanks.

Best regards,
Elisabeth Anderl (aka spacebirdy)
