             Bug #: 42304
           Summary: Allow moving of an article when some user tries to
                    create dummy versions in a redirect
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Redirects
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified
   Mobile Platform: ---


Consider the following scenario. Some user may move some page and then does
some minor edits to the created redirect in order to disallow moving the page
back without administrators.

We encountered such behavior in the Ukrainian Wikipedia. While I agree that
this is rather an issue of users themselves, it would still great to allow
moving back a page in such scenario.

One suggestion is to allow moving of page if the target page history is
following:
1) the first and the last versions are redirects
2) all other versions are created by the same user who created the first
version  or are redirects (this case will allow also a page move in case when
bots made edits in order to fix double redirects)
