Bug #: 33317
Summary: spurious changes
Product: MediaWiki
Version: unspecified
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: blocker
Priority: Unprioritized
Component: Page editing
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
Hello,
Recently I received a mail from somebody who asked why I removed a reference to
his book from a Wikimedia page. The problem is that I didn't.
I indeed made a small correction to the Wikimedia page, however, I was not
related to his book. After his email I returned to the page and checked its
history. For some reason, according to the history, the version after my
correction contains a number of spurious changes, including the removing of the
book. I definitely did not made these changes. Moreover, if I "undo" my
revisions the page does not return to its previous stage: these spurious
changes are still there.
Following is the link to page differences after I undid my revisions.

P.S.
I set the severity to blocker because, in my view, all editing must be blocked
before the issue is resolved. The situation when some changes are done in such
a "mysterious" way is unacceptable.
