I found the section in an archive (please specify oldid to prevent us having to search for such things in future) - https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive_57#Move
You said:
Technically impossible regardless of user permissions
So what do you expect us to do here?
That's not something we do in Wikimedia-Site-requests, this is a request to change user permissions.
Removed from Wikimedia-Site-requests, but yes, requesting a way to override that block.
In the case where override was requested, there was no actual image on the page, just a text page in the file namespace. We just want to move the page (and the text), no images.
Seems like a pretty niche use-case. If this is more common than I think, let us know and we'll take a look.
