I've noticed a few incidents in the last month or so relating to pages being moved, and just wanted to ask: why is moving pages not restricted to administrators? Do we have a good reason for that? Because it seems like page moves should be something that gets discussed rather than just being done. [[User:Xolroc|Xolroc]] ([[User talk:Xolroc|talk]]) 18:40, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

:I think just because you're not allowed to do things in some (or even in the majority of) cases, everyone shouldn't be restricted from doing things generally at all. I think TCG cards, for example, are meant to be qualified with the English expansion they first appeared in (such as [[Ninetales (Evolutions 15)]]), and that requires rather frequent page moves from their original Japanese that don't require that sort of discussion. (And, in general, I think there should be good reasons to restrict things, not to ''not'' restrict them.) [[User:Nescientist|Nescientist]] ([[User talk:Nescientist|talk]]) 09:53, 15 January 2017 (UTC)
