Summary: Allow page move by page ID in UI
Product: MediaWiki
Version: 1.16-svn
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: Normal
Component: User interface
AssignedTo: [email protected]

(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).
