I'm not looking for page protection, I'm looking for a universal permission to disallow anyone that's not a local staff member from moving/renaming pages

No, something like that doesn't exist to my knowledge.

You should only protect a page from being moved if that page has experienced a lot of vandalism. You shouldn't stop a page from being moved because of vandalism that hasn't happened yet.

If there is a serious problem, and this is necessary, then it can be done by staff. We tend not to do it in general though, usually specific protections are enough

Interesting that this doesn't already exist. I don't see why regular users would need to completely rename and move pages.

Here's an example of why all users would need to be able to move the page.

Let's say in episode one of a show, a character's name is revealed to be John. Someone then makes a page for John.

The second episode of the same show is released a week after the first, and it is revealed that John's last name is Doe. A normal user would then be able to move and rename John to John Doe.

If moving pages were limited to staff and the staff had gone inactive, no one would be able to move and rename the page, John Doe. This would lead to another page about John being made with it titled John Doe.

Now a user could copy-paste everything from John to John Doe and redirect the page, but if other editors worked on the page, they wouldn't receive credit for their work and normal users can't merge page histories.
