Non-sysop users can delete the target of a page move under certain circumstances (basically when undoing an earlier move). Since T106119 this produces a deletion log entry. This is somewhat confusing, and also messes up admin action statistics. It would be good to use a separate log action for this so it can be differentiated from real deletion.

Introduce separate log action for deleting pages on move

As a follow-up, this should be merged before releasing MW 1.28. This would preserve log_action consistency for redirect overwrites outside of WMF wikis.

Since the "delete_redir" log action will only be used when moving pages, the logging should be within "MovePage.php" rather than the "doDeleteArticleReal" function in "WikiPage.php". Also, as I have said in T151003, the overridden redirect should not be moved to the archive table, but instead permanently removed from the revision and text tables.
