TASK DESCRIPTION

The same function doable by humans on [[Special:MergeHistory]].
Such a script is missing in PWB collection.

A potenatial usecase for this may be, for example, the tons of moved categories in past on ro.wiki.

See, for example, an original category created in 2006 -> http://ro.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Categorie:Absolven%C5%A3i_ai_Universit%C4%83%C5%A3ii_Bucure%C5%9Fti&action="">
moved by a bot in 2010 to a new name ->
http://ro.wikipedia.org/wiki/Categorie:Absolven%C8%9Bi_ai_Universit%C4%83%C8%9Bii_Bucure%C8%99ti

Before such pages will be deleted, their history should be merged into their new page names. This is important for attribution.
