Since when do edit summaries have to be complete sentences? Looking at
[[en:Special:RecentChanges]], it seems the former edit summary followed the
more common format: "Archiving text", "Removed category using HotCat", "Created
page", "Added wikiproject template", "Disambiguated", "Undid revision 12345 by
1.2.3.4".
"Moved page X to Y" fits right in, while "Username moved page X to Y" doesn't.

You'll have to do a better job explaining it than that. And especially explain
why forcing this on communities that don't want it is somehow preferable to
allowing communities that do want the username redundantly repeated in the edit
summary to adjust [[MediaWiki:1movedto2]] in that manner.

So you intend to change the entire display of diffs, the article history, the
output from the API's prop=revisions&rvprop=comment, and so on to display the
dummy revision for a move in a format different from all other revisions? Or
are you just entirely confused and not realizing we're talking about '''the
edit summary attached to the dummy revision''' inserted in the article's
history for the move?

This is the appropriate solution: revert, and *if* such a wider-reaching change
is ever made then it can be revisited.
