Created attachment 10868 [details] in new pages feed, edit count for a user is missing I see in the feed right now, waiting to be reviewed: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amitabh_Bachchan listed as: Amitabh Bachchan (hist) · 59801 bytes · 100+ edits · 33 categories By 0 (talk · contribs) When I look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/0 and https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Amitabh_Bachchan&dir=prev&limit=500&action=history , I see that the user 0 did not create this article. IP address (?) 203.200.84.xxx created it at 12:45, 5 September 2001, and then at 15:51, 25 February 2002, "user 0" did an automated conversion. I suspect this wasn't really the user who currently goes by username 0, but some kind of automated process running as a user with internal userid zero. (Attaching a screenshot of the reason why I noticed this -- the edit count was missing.)
The edition of 0 shows as the first revision when paging. There's something weird there: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Amitabh_Bachchan&oldid=57756 <- 0 at 15:51, 25 February 2002 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Amitabh_Bachchan&oldid=148343 <- Tobias at 03:01, 22 July 2002 https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Amitabh_Bachchan&oldid=235586 <- 203.200.84.xxx at 12:45, 5 September 2001 I guess it is paging by rev_id instead of rev_timestamp?
In this case, both user 0 (the migration script) and user 203.200.84.xxx created the article. The question is what type of "creation" are we wanting? For the purposes of PageTriage, I think we want to use the "actual" creator (user 203.200.84.xxx), rather than the "technical" creator (user 0).
