On the page move form, a checkbox is shown, checked by

performed by a user called "Redirect fixer", or the equivalent localised
by [[MediaWiki:double-redirect-fixer]]. This user is created in the user
table if it doesn't already exist, so it has a valid user ID. Its edits do
not show up in Recent Changes.
Presumably the stop-table which I know has to exist in CreateUser was
update to forbid smartasses jumping out and registering that name?
