I can create articles as a sub-articles of another article, but when I want to move an article, only categories are listed as targets.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Create a category A
  2. Create an article B under category A
  3. Create an article C under category A
  4. Create an article D under article B
  5. Try to move article D
  6. You'll see you can only move article D to category A (or none), not to article C, or even its current position of B is not a valid place you can move it to.

In the move to menu, you have to search articles if you want to move an article to have an article as parents. Only categories are in the tree displayed for quick selection.

Ah, thanks, that solves my problem. I'd still argue it's unintuitive, but at least now I know how to navigate the unintuitiveness.
