-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

+1 for the warning, but I would not forbid simple
users from renaming
or moving pages but instead just hide the action (from the page menu).
OK I should have written it: by "forbid" I meant:
1. Hide the action from the menu
2. Return an error message if the user try to access the renaming/moving page (using
forged URL)
So you suggest we shouldn't do 2? On Fri, Sep 21, 2018 at 4:44 PM Simon Urli
