There are two problems with the current layout:
1. The buttons are far from where I type to enter the new slug.
2. The list of affected pages is squeezed in a small div with scrollbars.

By moving the buttons above the text "The following 653 subpages will be affected by this move:", we solve 1. and there is no more any reason to have a fixed size div for 2.

It will makes checks of the pages when moving much easier!

You'd really rather have a very long page than scroll through the list of pages?  Seems like letting the page get big would be very time-consuming.

Another thing about this idea - having the button a little bit away from the text input means that it is harder to click it by accident. It really is an action you need to think about. I don't personally think this is a problem.

Yes. I have to copy each time the content of the tiny box to an external editor to check for the DB corruptions to fix before the move.

I agree with teoli here.
