Page mover

Hi, I'm LightandDark2000. I have over 13 years of editing Wikipedia, and I'm quite familiar with the page move policies, and other relevant policies on move discussions. I used to have this user right, and since I plan to continue editing periodically, I would like to have this permission back. I was able to use this permission to fight page-move vandalism, handle problematic draft moves and article titles (including my own screwups), and manage my own userspace, and I believe I may have used it after closing some move discussions (although I don't remember when the last time that was). Page-Mover would make my work a lot easier when I need it, instead of having to rely on admins, and I will make good use of the tool. Thanks.

@LightandDark2000 I'm inclined to grant, but since your return from inactivity you have made no page moves, nor have you edited RM/TR – could you please give an example of a recent case where pagemover would have been helpful, but you had to ask for help instead?

I haven't requested any moves yet since my return, but here is one example where I would've found it useful (a recent screwup). I got around that by simply creating another redirect at the right target. LightandDark2000 🌀 (talk) 09:50, 28 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I wish to request Page mover rights. I am active in the NPP and AfC review processes. I frequently encounter pages that require draftification or articles whose titles require correction. These moves often leave unnecessary redirects. I would like to avoid this situation. I have not participated in requested moves or move reviews previously. Best regards.
