When performing moves the resultant edit summary will currently appear as:
Time, Date Username (talk | contribs | block) m . . (bytes) (0) . . (Username moved page X to Y: reason)
I think it should be changed back to how it was pre-2012, which appeared as:
Time, Date Username (talk | contribs | block) m . . (bytes) (0) . . (moved X to Y: reason)
Essentially removing the redundant extra "Username" and the unnecessary "page". The main reason I'm requesting this is because edit summaries have a hard character limit and wasting them on information that is already presented in the same line is frustrating when move edit summaries are often chopped off. Additionally, it makes histories look confusing when a user changes usernames.
This is a continuation of T36961 which was opened when the change was made in 2012 and ultimately closed as WONTFIX because it was supposedly a feature, although exactly why it was a feature was never properly explained IMO. I can't speak for other languages but whenever this has been discussed at enwiki there has been unanimous consensus that the extra username is redundant, see eg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_86#The_new.2C_redundant_automatic_edit_summary_on_page_moves_should_be_reverted or the current discussion that prompted this https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)&oldid=809106373#Edit_summaries_for_moves
One suggested solution at the previous task and VPT was to split it into different messages for logs (which is fine as is) and edit summaries (which needs a change at least in English -- I would be fine if it was just made locally configurable and other languages stayed with the current set up if that's what is best for them, although I do note the original task was filed by a Norwegian Wikipedia editor).
