Moving a page causes the page title to change while the page id remains the same, and the revision history is retained.
If a redirect is created under the moved page's former page title, it will have a new page id.
Pages can be moved using Special:MovePage (SpecialMovepage.php) or action=move
(ApiMove.php).
Moving a page, and then moving it again, can create double redirects.
Database
There are two possible kinds of page move log actions: move
and move_redir
.
The latter refers to a move over a redirect.
API
A page move log event has a "move
" sub-element, e.g. <move new_ns="0" new_title="Foo" suppressredirect="" />
Hooks
