I was just testing a bug enrolling and then removing myself from a class. Here's the class I was testing on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Program:University_of_Michigan/SI_110:_Introduction_to_Information_%28W13%29 Even though I took no other actions between enrolling and removing myself, the following 5 log entries occurred: 18:53, 31 January 2013 Sage Ross (WMF) (talk | contribs) disenrolled from course SI 110: Introduction to Information (W13) 18:53, 31 January 2013 Sage Ross (WMF) (talk | contribs) updated course Global Enterprise and Sustainable Development (2013 Q1) 18:53, 31 January 2013 Sage Ross (WMF) (talk | contribs) updated course Social Work Practice with Community and Social Systems (2013 Q1) 18:52, 31 January 2013 Sage Ross (WMF) (talk | contribs) updated course The World Since 1789 (WI13) (WI13) 18:52, 31 January 2013 Sage Ross (WMF) (talk | contribs) enrolled in course SI 110: Introduction to Information (W13) See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/Sage_Ross_%28WMF%29 Similar phantom log entries seem to be occurring regularly, and it looks like it's something involving actions one course page generating additional log entries for a different course page.
In many cases, it looks like log entries for other courses are created and *not* the expected log entry for the affected course. See the logs for this student: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Log/Aheberling The student enrolled in this course: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Program:James_Madison_University/Intro_to_Org._Comm._%28Spring_2013%29 Phantom log entries appeared for 4 other courses, but without any log entry for the user's enrollment in that course.
That's rather not good. Will look into this soon.
*** Bug 44380 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Any progress on this? These phantom log entries are happening on a daily basis, and it makes the logs nearly impossible to use (and make for a very confusing watchlist).
No progress :( I have not been able to reproduce this yet. I'll poke at the relevant code a bit, clean it up, and write tests. Perhaps I run into the issue while doing that.
I now have the same thing occurring, so will have a look at it.

I haven't been able to find any additional instances of this in a long time, so I'm closing it as fixed.
