Mainly requesting so I can bold move pages to multi-revision redirects, but I may cautiously move into closing RMs one day. I think I have decent experience from participating at WP:RMC and understand the guidelines reasonably well. Thanks, Kowal2701 (talk) 10:58, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Some recent examples where I had to start an RM where I would have bold moved are Talk:Caliphate of Hamdullahi#Requested move 15 July 2025 and Talk:Amina, Queen of Zazzau#Requested move 24 July 2025 (ongoing) Kowal2701 (talk) 11:09, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

Technically, if you would normally have bold moved a page (uncontroversial, do not expect opposition) but couldn't for technical reasons, WP:RM/TR would be the better way to do it since it avoids the 7 day listing period of a full RM. This is not a comment on the actual merits of granting or not granting though, which I'll leave to the patrolling admins. Alpha3031 (t • c) 19:02, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

If people don’t think I need the tool or that the benefit doesn’t outweigh the potential costs just say and I’ll retract this Kowal2701 (talk) 22:37, 27 July 2025 (UTC)

Please be patient, you only asked a few days ago and perm requests are rarely handled same-day. Primefac (talk) 23:12, 27 July 2025 (UTC)

Mb, I just saw one answered below and assumed it wasn’t a no-brainer Kowal2701 (talk) 08:31, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

This right would be helpful for when I close RMs so that I don't need to request the move be performed at WP:RM/TR afterwards, as well as potentially helping out with moves there myself. Tenshi! (Talk page) 23:15, 25 July 2025 (UTC)

I've been involved in a few page swaps recently following move requests - however, I've been unable to complete them due to the default permissions leaving behind redirects, which is undesirable when swapping pages. I'd like to be able to carry out such moves without having to request technical support. Danners430 _{tweaks made} 17:00, 26 July 2025 (UTC)

 Not done I don't think you have enough experience for this yet; you have only two RMTR requests, relatively low RM participation, and only 13 total uses of the move tool. Spend some time making requests to RMTR that get consistently approved (to prove you know when that is appropriate) and only then request page mover rights. * Pppery * _{it has begun...} 00:14, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

Fair enough :) many thanks! Danners430 _{tweaks made} 03:45, 29 July 2025 (UTC)
