Description

Moving user-pages to another user makes for normal users (without 'Global renamers' right) commonly no sense, instead it opens doors for confusing, faults and misusing.

move-rootuserpages is already needed to move root user pages (i.e. User:Example) and moving subpages (i.e. User:Example/Foo) makes sense for, eg, accepting user-space drafts and should not require a separate right

@DannyS712 I just created (with proposal) https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseFilter/220
Looks this ok?

This is outside the scope of global rename. If I'm reading this task correctly, you're trying to make it so that non-admins, non-global renamers, or non-stewards cannot move userpages to new titles. This doesn't involve global rename or CentralAuth, so I'm removing those project tags.
