--- Comment #27 from Richard Guk <[email protected]> 2012-06-19 12:56:51 UTC --- Even freakier, enwiki:VPT allowed a NON-null edit conflict 6 hours ago. The history tab gives the following details: First, an archive bot correctly removed several sections: * 2012-06-19T06:40:10 (UTC) MiszaBot_II (198,571 bytes) (-10,318): http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)&diff=498298525&oldid=498279415 Then, an editor's new comment was saved, but with the archived sections reinserted: * 2012-06-19T06:40:16 Hoo_man (209,033 bytes) (+10,462): http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Village_pump_(technical)&diff=498298534&oldid=498298525 Proof that this is a technical inconsistency, not just a manually-overridden edit-conflict: * In Special:Watchlist and Special:RecentChangesLinked (and presumably also Special:RecentChanges), the second edit is recorded as having a delta of +209,033bytes - in other words, compares the new edit with zero instead of with the number of bytes in the previous edit. Fortunately, the RecentChanges byte-delta bug proves that this was caused by MediaWiki and not by the editor! So the minor bug is at least evidencing the major one. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
