Don't allow non-admins to remove semi-protection from pages by just moving back and forth
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Please see T136792#2355255.

Steps to reproduce the issue:

  1. Semi-protect a page.
  1. Use another account that has no sysop rights.
  1. Using your secondary account (that has no sysop rights), move the semi-protected page to another page.

Both pages now have semi-protection, if you will see.

  1. Move the target page back to its source page.

At this point, you will see that only one page has semi-protection.

  1. Repeat steps 3 and 4.

Now you will see that the semi-protection is gone, without even using the unprotect special page.

There's not much point in adding subscribers to the closed-as-duplicate task. Discussion should continue on the task that's open.

T128624 is now resolved, can this task be visible to the public now? Thanks.
