I see no reason why we should allow newly registered users to have the ability to move pages. We could reduce page move vandalism if we do like Wikipedia and require that ability to be activated 96 hours after account creation (i.e. when the user is "autoconfirmed" and can edit semi-protected pages). — Vildricianus 21:16, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- I would have no objection to this if everyone registered accounts. Anons shouldn't be punished for their anonymity, we have had several great anon translators come through, and the idea isn't to force people to register, they should be free to edit anonymously if they choose to. - TheDaveRoss 21:30, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- Right now unregestered users can't move pages, so it doesn't change anything for them. But if they register, they can move page immediately... I think it would be a good thing to change that. - Dakdada 22:18, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- Exactly. I'd be the first to defend the anonymous editor's rights. — Vildricianus 09:55, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

- Support limiting page moves to user accounts over 96 hours old. --Connel MacKenzie T C 04:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- Support I was unaware that there was presently a restriction on moving by anons. My objection is retracted. -TheDaveRoss 16:11, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- Support Or even a smaller time delay - 24 hours would be better than nothing. SemperBlotto 16:35, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
- Support Unfortunately the determined vandal will just register accounts in advance. Jonathan Webley 10:49, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I take it this has the community's support. Do I file it at bugzilla? Should I wait to present it together with the other technical adjustments listed above? — Vildricianus 11:29, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- I saw Brion in #wiktionary, pestered him about it, and he set it. I just tested it with User:TestMovesConfirmed and the new account is not able to move pages. --Connel MacKenzie T C 07:03, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, excellent! — Vildricianus 09:52, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
