I think more user friendly warning would be better.
Using dev jargon like Foo:Foo:Bar. 'Foo:Foo would not be appropriate since
most of the wiki users are not developers.
If the namespace drop-down menu at Special:MovePage is a misfeature what
would be a better fix?

What would be a good alert message for the users when there is repeated
namespace in title?
Maybe something like this:
"Please verify your new page title: Foo:Foo:Bar. 'Foo:Foo:' in a page
title is usually a mistake."
But the deeper issue is <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T50239>. The
namespace drop-down menu at Special:MovePage is a misfeature.
