Imagine the following scenario: * User:A creates a userpage at user:A/sandbox. The page will be listed at /w/index.php?title=special:newpages&namespace=2&tagfilter=&username=A&hidebots=1&limit=1 ) * Later they move the page to the main namespace; but the page will still be listed as a userpage in special:newpages. (won't show up in /w/index.php?title=special:newpages&namespace=0&tagfilter=&username=Sadidafarin&hidebots=1&limit=1 (notice to namespace=0 in query)) The problem is that most of the patrollers only follow newpages in the main namespace and won't notice the new article of user:A that has been created by move. I think when a page is moved to another namespace, it's associated namespace under special:newpages should also change.
