Additional notes

 * Successful use of the parameter requires the  right, which is granted to bots and sysops, not ordinary users.


 * Creating a redirect is the API's default behavior. If you do not have the  right, the API will not return an error; it will simply create a redirect.


 * The Move API uses two additional error handling methods when the page move succeeded, but the talk page or subpage move failed:

 * - The relevant error will be returned as a standard / structure under the key.
