I'm sorry I don't know much about the internal details of the MediaWiki software
itself, but I'd still like to prose a solution to this bug: In the same way we
have an edit conflict error page, we could create a "page-move conflict" page.
This would mean that when an admin is preparing to move a page, if any page
moves have suceeded between the time that the page move is initiated and the
process is complete, that admin gets a "Page Move conflict" error detailing what
transpired between the two events. That way the admin has a chance to evaluate
what to do in the meantime. I don't see this new code being that much different
from the "Edit Conflict" page. Only page moves need be looked at, since edits
can occur before the move is complete without any serious repercussions.

If two or more administrators try to rollback the same page move at the same
time (which is commonon when dealing with Willy on Wheels style page move
vandalism) the article is deleted and is replaced with a redirect to itself.
One of the admins then has to delete the redirect and selectively undelete all
the revisions prior to the page move.

I'm unable to replicate this in MediaWiki 1.12alpha revision 30649 - is this still an issue?
