?action=history (that is, the page's history) probably should include matching
items from Special:Log. The fact that page protections and page moves leave a
visible entry and administrative actions such as page deletion and page
restoration do not leave an entry in the page history is strange and
unexpected, I think. We're logging this information, why oddly segregate it? It
should be integrated. There's some parity with Special:Contributions and
Special:Log (cf. bug 3716).

There's a real design issue here: in the GUI, we're currently poorly exposing
what should be internal implementation details. Yes, there's a revision table
and a logging table, but only people working on MediaWiki need to care about
this. There are a few different approaches we can take to address this issue.
This bug report is probably a duplicate of bug 4172.
