Hi there! I’m requesting page mover rights because, while patrolling new pages, I sometimes come across pages that need to be draftified and when I do so, unnecessary redirects are left behind. I’ve also encountered cases where a new page has a typo in its title and when I move it to the correct name, I have to leave a redirect behind. I have occasionally contributed to requested moves, though not very frequently. Thanks, ScrabbleTiles (talk) 08:10, 12 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hello, I am an AFC reviewer, and recently going through a lot of pages that move from userspace to draftspace, using the tool on Template:AfC submission. This makes me the creator of future sandboxes, which I have then noticed developing into pages I am uninvolved with. So I would like to request for redirect suppression. Also, as a gnome, I would be more than willing to help out at WP:RM, which at the moment has over a dozen requests in the uncontroversial section, as well as a backlog of elapsed listings going back over a month. You can see some of my Gnome work in redirect requests (for which I am psuedo-autopatrolled, which is also a good reason for me to suppress redirects), AFC listings, NPR (mostly redirects, but it would be nice to suppress redirects on draftifications, although I dont do that much anymore), and some recent changes patrolling. There have also been a few times I wanted to create redirects as an AFC/R patroller, but was blocked by the blacklist. I've read the policies on page moving, and would continue to refer back to them as I learn the rest of what goes on at RM, until I understand them all.

One of the reasons you mentioned requesting page mover for was suppressing redirects for moves from userspace to draftspace. Theoretically, if you had the rights to do that, which redirect suppression criteria would you use in your edit summary? Tenshi! (Talk page) 17:27, 13 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]
I would say G6. Deleting pages unambiguously created [...] in the incorrect namespace, or redirects created by moving away from a title that was obviously unintended. The default edit summary for moves given to AFC reviewers in the template is that submissions should be created in draftspace, so it would seem to me that the correct namespace is Draft, and fixing the namespace is uncontroversial cleanup. I would also commit to only suppress on generic sandbox pages, not on subpages with specific titles, that way individual users could be the creators of their pages, and not have notices sent to me in the future, which I have seen happen to others.

Hi! I'm requesting page mover permissions primarily for closing category discussions and speedy discussions, since I've noticed myself becoming more active in category discussions this year. However, I will still let everyone know about new requests that I plan on executing, even those that are noncontroversial. - OpalYosutebito 『talk』 『articles I want to eat』 02:29, 14 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Done For a 3-month trial period. Feel free to re-request a few weeks before the right expires. Toadspike [Talk] 02:45, 14 November 2025 (UTC) [reply ]

Hi, I'm a trial NPP and AfC reviewer and intend to be more active in that area and will need the perm to surpress redirects while draftifying articles. I also have some experience in closing RMs and want to help out with the occassional backlog at WP:RM/TR, where I do the requests that I technically can and comment on other requests.
