Six days ago (Friday, Oct 18) I made a very simple edit, removing one line of
"formatting code" from an article. I was doing this in the wake of a certain
editor who was in the habit of adding this certain "formatting code" which
happened to block users from viewing an article's TOC any deeper than one level
deep.
(I must confess, In my opinion, this one editor made a mess of several "table
of contents" sections of possibly hundreds of articles. I only had time to fix
a few of them.)
At any rate, on Friday, I had been going through, making identical repairs to
several articles in a row. Today I got a "Bot notice" making the <i>very
peculiar</i> claim that in one of these "repair edits" I had supposedly made
several changes that I did not make. When I went to view my supposed "edit
history" for this one edit, indeed, it appeared that somehow the Wikipedia
software had erroneously combined my simple removal of 22 characters edit with
another edit by someone else here.
The edit history edit record that was corrupted is this:
[https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lavochkin_La-5&diff=prev&oldid=578094822
Corrupted edit history record]
I sincerely hope that this is a one-time issue, and not a system wide issue
that is about to get bigger.
Thanks,
