Description Fomafix 2013-01-26 18:18:15 UTC 
When you use [[Special:MovePage]] it is not possible to set the minor edit flag. When you enable minordefault in [[Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing]] your moves get marked as minor edit.

Either
1) make a possibility to enable and disable the minor edit flag on [[Special:MovePage]]

or
2) ignore the setting of minordefault on moves.

I think the option 2 is satisfactory.

The null revision in the history is always marked as minor edit. No preferences is checked there.
Comment 2 Andre Klapper 2013-03-08 09:18:48 UTC 
Umherirrender: Does that mean this request is invalid?
Comment 3 Umherirrender 2013-03-08 14:30:57 UTC 
You can treat it like that. The description is wrong, but the missing minor checkbox can be a bug or it is missed by design. I am not sure, what the best. If moves always minor edits, never minor edits or let the user choose.

I would keep it as is.
