Description Alfio Puglisi 2005-01-14 09:38:50 UTC
At http://it.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Gratteri&curid=30850&action=history
one can see the following history (times are UTC+1):

# corr) (prec)  18:51, Gen 13, 2005 82.55.161.110
# (corr) (prec) 18:23, Gen 13, 2005 Speciale:Contributions
# (corr) (prec) 18:19, Gen 13, 2005 Speciale:Contributions
# (corr) (prec) 18:07, Gen 13, 2005 82.55.161.110

Two revisions at 18:19 and 18:23 has been attributed to
"Speciale:Contributions", which of course isn't a registered user.

*** Bug 1329 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 2 Mormegil 2005-01-14 13:38:05 UTC
It seems the reason is that the stored username of that author is empty, so that the link
to this author's contributions looks like Special:Contributions?target= which probably
renders wrongly on the page history. You can see the empty name on the respective diff page.

(I have spotted the error at
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Defenestrations_of_Prague&action=history)
Comment 3 River Tarnell 2005-01-14 13:43:00 UTC
This should only have occurred during a brief time yesterday because of a configuration error.  The problem is now 
fixed (although the blank usernames will still appear in the history).  Please reopen if it's still happening.
