This used to be possible. Now we have to resort to copy/paste moves with no
history preservation?

By the way, this is additionally annoying because users in the "Edit interface"
user group[1] have the permission to deal with protection and moving, but not
deleting.

Where normally I can move a page belonging in the MediaWiki namespace to it
(suppressing redirect of course, since #REDIRECT is invalid js/css), I now have
to resort to copy/paste moves and leaving the old page behind (maybe blanking
it or asking a sysop to clean it up, which is a waste of time and only requires
additional duplication of efforts and explanation).
