I suggest adding a velocity limit on pagemoves for non-admin users. MediaWiki would allow a maximum of N pagemoves per day where N=10 or so by default. N could be a parameter in the user profile so an admin could increase N for specific users who had some legitimate need to do a lot of pagemoves. Since the disappearance of Curpsbot we've had some big pagemove disruptions, including a huge incident of someone renaming 800 or so biographical articles over a several day period for POV reasons, and more recently a resurgence in pagemove vandalism. Curpsbot was always eyed with suspicion in some circles for good reason--this particular function, at least, makes more sense on the server side. There's some discussion of this on AN/I right now: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Incidents&oldid=68990947
