PartTimeGnome <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #3 from PartTimeGnome <[email protected]> --- The best documentation I can find for MediaWiki's current behaviour is at [[Help:Moving a page#Moving over a redirect]] on the English Wikipedia. This is in Bugzilla because the restrictions on when a redirect can be overwritten are enforced by MediaWiki. Only a developer can change this behaviour. Bug descriptions should describe the problem, not the solution, so no specific change has been proposed in this bug (see the VPT thread for some specific proposals). Finding a way to ease these restrictions without creating avenues for vandalism is tricky, and we'd appreciate the developers views on this matter. In the code, the rules on when a redirect can be overwritten are implemented by Title::isValidMoveTarget <https://git.wikimedia.org/blob/mediawiki%2Fcore.git/807d510ad7353ae4adee736eb6f4b34890761114/includes%2FTitle.php#L4152>.
