Description Catherine Munro 2005-04-25 03:12:27 UTC
The interface could be improved on this; is it possible to remove the "move" tab
from the "Image:" namespace? (Unless moving/renaming is going to be allowed in
future versions - ref Bug 709)

If not, the current error message ("This action cannot be performed on this
page.") could be improved -- since it probably shouldn't mention 'pedia-specific
deletion tags and procedures, perhaps something along these lines:

"Media files cannot be moved or renamed.  You may upload another copy of the
file with a new name, update any links to the old file, then arrange for the old
file to be deleted."
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2005-04-25 04:39:17 UTC
Fixed in CVS HEAD and REL1_4 and put live on Wikimedia sites.

Title::userCan() was not taking namespace-wide movability into account for move permission checks, so the move tab was 
incorrectly shown.
