I attempt whenever possible to correct article titles to sentence case when necessary, but am frequently unable to do so because of the existence of a single-edit redirect. I've been advised at "Requested moves" just to ask for the pagemover right already after 75,000 edits in nearly 11 years.
A perfect current example: Sweet and Sour Pork, which I can't move to Sweet and sour pork without requesting the move and making someone else do my work for me.
Thanks for your consideration! Julietdeltalima (talk) 23:52, 2 August 2025 (UTC)
- Note that Sweet and Sour Pork and Sweet and sour pork was actually unfortunately not a great example to make a case for page mover permissions - on review, you’ll find that there is a a long history at the latter as it was merged to Sweet and sour in 2013, as well as a whole mess as the former was (re-)created as a move from Gu Lao Rou, which in turn was only created in 2024 as a manual fork of Sweet and sour.
- So what we have here is now a pretty mess of “admin required” for histmerge as well as a few “{{copied from}}” on the relevant talk pages and review of the page edit histories to make sure attributions are placed as needed. I’ll copy this over to RM/TR, since I can’t action on the admin required histmerge review. (Edit): posted at RMTR. Raladic (talk) 07:33, 3 August 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I am fairly active at WP:NPP these days, and Kj cheetham has reminded me that having PM permissions would allow me to draftify articles without leaving a cross-space redirect that needed to be deleted per WP:R2. I was granted the PM permission back in 2022 for the same reason (among others), but it expired in 2024 because I took a wikibreak. JBchrch talk 11:31, 10 August 2025 (UTC)

I am in the process of mass-moving pages on Roman Catholic dioceses in accordance with this discussion. I have needed to send a large portion of my moves so far to WP:RM/TR due to redirects. Having page mover permissions would hopefully help me continue with tasks such as these. funplussmart (talk) 23:04, 10 August 2025 (UTC)
