828533 - Page move: although you can edit the article title in the page move UI, it doesn't actually change the title

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Editing, defect)

Description

[Eric Shepherd [:sheppy]]

Although the page move UI has an edit field for the page title, and you can change its contents, that new title doesn't get applied when the page move is performed. It would be super handy if it were.

This is still happening, or has started happening again. I'm not really sure which. But it definitely is happening at this time that if you change the title in the page move UX, the title doesn't actually change when you move the page.

I confirm.

Still an issue. I can't fix it but I could remove the form field if it is causing user confusion.

What about simply disabling the field? That will let people know that we hope to allow this function to work someday, but will also make it clear that it doesn't work currently. And it saves us the effort of fiddling with the page move function any more than necessary.
