Follow page moves like redirects
Open, Needs TriagePublicFeature

Description

Feature summary (what you would like to be able to do and where):

In the "Options" dropdown menu, below "Follow redirects", add the option to "Follow moves" or "Follow page moves".

Use case(s) (list the steps that you performed to discover that problem, and describe the actual underlying problem which you want to solve. Do not describe only a solution):

More often than not, pages are moved without leaving behind a redirect. There is no vanilla way to navigate to those pages. Instead, one must either open the deleted page in a browser and copy the target back into AWB, or write their own custom module to do something similar (see the originating discussion for the API call).

Benefits (why should this be implemented?):

This feature would allow moved-without-redirect pages to be much more easily navigated to.
