Hello @remakj

Thanks for proposing this idea

When you move the page, if you uncheck "Republishing" during the process, the page will indeed be removed from the publisher.
Once the page is moved, its original location will be lost, hence if the republish doesn't happen at the same time, when the page will be manually published, it will be duplicated on the published in the old and new location.

Could you please clarify what kind of messaging you would like to be added?
The term "Republishing" in the UI meaning that the page will be sent back to publication during the move process so that the page is properly moved also on the publisher, I'm unclear what additional information you would expect here.

As an author I would expect the move operation since it provides an option to de-select "republish" the move operation won't be published until I choose to publish the moved page from the new destination. However this currently deletes the page in live site even when I have specifically chosen not to republish. Hence my suggestion to add the message "Note: Move operation will delete the page from the source location immediately" or something along those lines.

The reason for requesting this is once page move is done, the live site has references to this old page and they are not flushed from the dispatcher leaving orphan/invalid links.
