Some users can cause disruption by moving/renaming pages.
Social sanctions can keep them in check, but currently the only technical means to corral this type of behavior is a full site block, which is extreme for some situations.
It would be useful to be able to *only* block users from moving/renaming pages on specific namespace.
In fact, this is very similar to T194529, But this task is limited to a specific namespace.

A user performing disruptive moves in one namespace but useful moves in another sounds like rare enough that I don't think it's worth the additional code complexity implementing this would add (or if a technical block is even the right tool for dealing with it).
