If you try to move a page over one that already exists, and have the 'delete' right, you'll get the option to delete the current page and move over it (https://toolserver.org/~betacommand/2012-12-08_165111.png). This should be an option in the API as well for users with both the 'move' and 'delete' rights. Something like &deleteexisting=1.
You can use &ignorewarnings= for that
Wasn't aware of that option, thanks. I'll go ahead and update the documentation to reflect that.
Looks like, that this param is not working for delete&move. I remind wrong.
On the other hand, the API client could just call action=delete followed by action=move to achieve the same effect. Is there a disadvantage to doing this besides that it needs an additional API query?
I can't think of any, just the fact that it requires an extra query.
