Description Angela 2004-12-24 23:11:16 UTC Since 1.4, there is an option to "Protect from moves only". Choosing this option does nothing more than hide the "move" link from non-admins. They can still go to the page move URL such as http://notreal.wikicities.com/index.php?title=Special:Movepage&target=Main_Page and move a page that way. Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2004-12-25 00:05:01 UTC The actual move code was only checking the edit permission, not the move permission. Fixed.
