This isn't a realy good idea IMO as we could break extensions that
redirect a user to the rename action of a page using things such as
$xwiki.getURL().
A good workaround would be to add the same warning as when editing
extension pages [1].
So you suggest to have the same behaviour for advanced and
simple user
then?
I'm not sure to understand in what way displaying an error to user
telling them they don't have enough privileges to do this action is
really breaking a behaviour here.
Could you provide an example of a usecase with an extension you
mentioned please? Just for me to better see the issue.
Thanks,
Simon

So you suggest we shouldn't do 2?
So +1 to prevent/warn the user when doing a move/renaming AND copy
-1 to hide the action from the menu (if you’re talking about the
“Move/Rename” and
“Copy" actions) because:
1) you get to choose whether you move/rename/copy
children after you
click the action
2) even when the current page has an XClass, the
user wouldn't
understand why he cannot see/click on the action. It’s better
that he
can do it but get an error message, explaining why and telling him that
to contact an advanced users if he really needs to do it.
Thanks
