Strange Edit After Page Move
this looks weird. The middle edit is '-1' but nothing changes. John Vandenberg (chat) 02:36, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
- There are three '-1' edits so I'm unsure which edit you refer to. Is it where a space was removed after "residence they shared"? PrimeHunter (talk) 02:48, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

- Sorry, I was referring to the, now deleted, edit by SilverFox183 (talk ยท contribs). There were only three edits: 1) the page move to include '2012' prefix, SilverFox183's edit, followed by a bot and I didnt inspect that edit. It's probably hard to debug now that the page has been moved back over the redirect, but the 'diff' omitted the diff section, similar to how it appears for moves and protection actions.

- If I compare and (admin only links) then the second apparently removed an extra newline at the end. That explains '-1' but raises another question: How could the first have en extra newline at the end? I thought it would be stripped on saving. I can no longer see a diff but maybe the diff ignored the extra newline or whatever it was. PrimeHunter (talk) 05:20, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Famous quotes containing the words strange, edit, page and/or move:
“For anyone addicted to reading commonplace books ... finding a good new one is much like enduring a familiar recurrence of malaria, with fever, fits of shaking, strange dreams. Unlike a truly paludismic ordeal, however, the symptoms felt while savoring a collection of one man’s pet quotations are voluptuously enjoyable ...”
—M.F.K. Fisher (1908–1992)
“To a philosopher all news, as it is called, is gossip, and they who edit it and read it are old women over their tea.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“It is difficult to read. The page is dark.
Yet he knows what it is that he expects.
The page is blank or a frame without a glass
Or a glass that is empty when he looks.”
—Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)
“Short of a wholesale reform of college athletics—a complete breakdown of the whole system that is now focused on money and power—the women’s programs are just as doomed as the men’s are to move further and further away from the academic mission of their colleges.... We have to decide if that’s the kind of success for women’s sports that we want.”
—Christine H. B. Grant, U.S. university athletic director. As quoted in the Chronicle of Higher Education, p. A42 (May 12, 1993)
