[Wikipedia-l] better MOVE documentation?

Looking over [[Robert J. Flaherty]], I (mis?)remember a lot more being there than what I just wrote.  Maybe I'm confusing that with what was written about him at [[documentary film]].  Zoe expressed similar thoughts about [[The Wizard of Oz]].

I don't know that either page has been moved (or where they would have been moved to) but wondering about it made me realize that the article move is essentially undocumented.

Should we document the moving of a page from one location to another in the article's history?  e.g. create a new line in the history showing the time and user with an autogenerated comment like "article moved from [[IMDb]] to [[Internet Movie Database]]"?

Is it something worth having?  And if so, would it be a fairly simple bit of programming, or would it require a mindbending hack equivalent to the first person's putting a stick through a wheel?
