Description

When protected pages are moved by non-admin user, following sentence leaves in protection log (just an example):

09:44, 3 October 2008 Non-admin user (Talk | contribs) protected "ExamplePage2" ‎ (ExamplePage moved to ExamplePage2) (hist)

It may be confusing to other user. So it should be:

09:44, 3 October 2008 MediaWiki default (Talk | contribs) protected "ExamplePage2" ‎ (This page was automatically protected because user moved from ExamplePage to ExamplePage2) (hist)

Thank you.

• bzimport set Reference to bz15879.

• bzimport added a subscriber: Unknown Object (MLST).

Actually, I'd say that phrasing it as "AdminUser protected ExamplePage2 (ExamplePage1 was protected and then moved here)" would be more accurate :)

Why not have the protection logged under the protecting admin, as is done with autoblocks?
