Protected edit request on 5 August 2020

[edit]

The default MediaWiki version does not say that only page movers and administrators can move categories. I have a version that does say it. –User456541 18:32, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done User456541 your proposed message references the protection policy, which is not a factor here (in most cases - category pages can be move-protected as well which will result in a different condition) - this is about not having the (move-categorypages) permission (included in the sysop, bot, and extendedmover groups). Also, I can't see a need to squeeze picture-rich content in to only the English version of this page. Possibly we could change it from:
You do not have permission to move category pages.
to
Category pages may only be moved by administrators, page movers, or bots.

However, an even better fix would be to request a software change to have this message include a better output with a dynamic list of groups that contain the permission.

Would you like the text version suggested above used? (If so please reavtivate the edit request). — xaosflux Talk 18:57, 5 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
