There is consensus that when moving a page with admin or page mover rights, the default action should be to move all subpages. See discussion here: Wikipedia talk:Page mover#Moving subpages should be the default action. The confusion arises for example when moving an article whose Talk page has archives: the talk page itself and subpages of the article, if any, are moved, but subpages of the talk page are not, and this creates lots of work to detect the mistake and correct it after the fact, especially when talk pages have long archives. A personal setting in common.js has been made available, and we would like to apply a similar technique to the global common.js, so that the relevant checkbox is ticked by default. — JFGtalk13:33, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
This seems like something that should be solved in the configuration of the software and not in Common.js. Next to that, javascript that is only delivered to a single page, should generally not be part of Common.js, which is for things delivered to ALL pages. Please file a phabricator ticket. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 15:51, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
