Page mover


The situation that resulted in this MfD is leading me to request this permission. This user page was being used as an AfC submission, which I didn't know what to do with after declining, since the most likely solution (moving to draftspace and suppressing the redirect, see Timtrent's and DoubleGrazing's comments) was unavailable to me. Instead, I simply blanked it in a panic. I request this permission because it would be quite useful in my NPP work (and my recently acquired job of closing RMs) in general, including cases like that, as well as the unusually common situation of people accidentally creating drafts and user pages in mainspace (see User:JJPMaster/CSD log#November 2024 for my G6 nominations for three of those cases; see also User:JJPMaster/Draftify log). Thank you! JJPMaster (she/they) 03:16, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Logs (move/CSD/draftify/block) look fine. RM closures look fine, though they are mostly from the past week. As to the beginning of your request, redirect suppression is supposed to be used in instances where users could move the page normally and then request speedy deletion of the resulting move redirect, so I wouldn't say an option was unavailable to you. (Though query whether that situation falls within a CSD.) In any event, the second half of your request is enough.  Done for 2 months. I'd suggest requesting an extension 1-2 weeks before it expires.
