Wiki "Move" permission for content migration instead of Table of Contents?

It seems that the "Move" permission under Wikis allows a user to move pages within the Table of Contents, but it doesn't affect a users ability to migrate a page or set of pages to another wiki. So even though I've turned this setting OFF, users can still see the MOVE option under MORE and can transfer any wiki page to another wiki. 

Is this correct? If so, is there a way to limit the ability to migrate a wiki page? What's the appropriate permissions setting that covers that ability?

    The process of moving a wiki page contains internal permission checks that will prevent the page from being moved if the user does not have the "Move Pages" permission (and the "Edit Pages" permission). The option is displayed based on the availability of a valid Content Converter for the wiki page. I'm logging a bug to modify this display based on the accessing user having the Move permission.

    The workaround would be to add the permission check to the Wikis - Page widget yourself.

    #set($convert = false)
    #set($convert = $core_v2_ui.ConvertContent($page.ContentId, $page.ContentTypeId))
    #if ($convert && $core_v2_nodePermission.Get('wikispages',$page.Id,$core_v2_wikiPermissions.MovePage).IsAllowed)
    	<li class="navigation-list-item">
    	    $convert
    	</li> 
    #end

    TE-17104: Hide "Move" option on Wiki Pages when user does not have Move Pages permission has been declined as "Working As Designed":

    This is currently working as designed and is consistent with other applications. The "Move" permission, as described in the user interface, "enables users to move wiki pages within the table of contents after the page has been created." Moving a wiki page to another wiki (as in other content types) requires only "Modify" permissions.
