If we did that, shouldn't we just re-use the same message? It appears on image upload pages after all.

There is a lot of stuff in the edit tools which is unnecessary for page moves (wikicode, frequent templates, copyright stuff); and if someone still wants to use the same content, they just need to set the message to {{int:edittools}}. Using different content when the message is the same is much harder.

Page moves are only one of many places where titles get typed in. If it's generally useful to have extra input chars for that, then it shouldn't be tied specifically to the page move screen.

Possibly this belongs with the class of things like the Narayam extension input methods; we could make the 'special chars' goodies generally available for all input fields.

Today this problem can be solved with Universal Language Selector, in the lines described by Brion (not only for Move pages but for any input text form fields).

Depends on how you define special characters. Sometimes people want to insert wikicode, fancy unicode symbols unrelated to language, etc

One year of silence. Changing priority to Lowest.
