Description Splarka 2009-10-02 03:06:40 UTC 
(ref bug 15845 for same in API)

After new namespaces/interwikis/interlangs are added, or rules for titles are changed (per bug 20741 for example), some pages are sometimes inaccessable via the UI. Generally a cleanup script is run for any such changes, but this is not 100% efficient and is not always remembered). It is currently possible to move or delete pages via the API, but this is tedious.

It would be nice to have a UI interface to do this, even if minimally. A possible method would be to simply allow direct input of a page ID in the move form <input> where the title would normally go, such as #12345 (which is an invalid title otherwise, and so could be parsed as an integer). The UI would not need to even change, it could remain a semi-hidden feature (since it would be very rarely needed).
