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