I can see edits (i.e., just the listing: timestamp, user, +/- diff, etc.) of at least one deleted page in the RecentChanges on Meta-Wiki. Here is the log. I have replaced the IP of the page's creator with 127.0.0.1, but you can still see it in the RCs: (Deletion log); 15:52 . . Thehelpfulone (talk | contribs) deleted page Www.wikipedia.com template (obsolete) (diff | hist) . . Www.wikipedia.com template; 15:52 . . (-279) . . PiRSquared17 (talk | contribs) (fix) (diff | hist) . . Www.wikipedia.com template; 15:52 . . (+376) . . PiRSquared17 (talk | contribs) (comment) [... 2 unrelated edits here ...] (diff | hist) . . N Www.wikipedia.com template; 15:49 . . (+46,539) . . 127.0.0.1 (talk) (Created page with "<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="mul" dir="ltr"> <head> <!-- Sysops: Please do not edit the main template directly; update /temp and synchronise. --> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>...") Is this a known problem? I can't duplicate it on another page, but other users confirm that these. Maybe the timestamps of my last edit to the page and the deletion are the same? This is the page: [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Www.wikipedia.com_template].
Two other users have confirmed it. According to one of them, my edit was 1 second before the deletion on an RC feed.
I see it as well: (Deletion log); 15:52 . . Thehelpfulone (talk | contribs) deleted page Www.wikipedia.com template (obsolete) (diff | hist) . . Www.wikipedia.com template; 15:52 . . (-279) . . PiRSquared17 (talk | contribs) (fix) (diff | hist) . . Www.wikipedia.com template; 15:52 . . (+376) . . PiRSquared17 (talk | contribs) (comment) (diff | hist) . . N Www.wikipedia.com template; 15:49 . . (+46,539) . . 69.148.170.68 (talk) (Created page with "<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="mul" dir="ltr"> <head> <!-- Sysops: Please do not edit the main template directly; update /temp and synchronise. --> <meta charset="utf-8"> <title>...") When you click the links for this page, you're given a "This page doesn't currently exist" error with the deletion log. The links are shown as blue as if the page still exists as well.
I'm seeing the same also. The page appears with the following oldids in RecentChanges: * 5247549 * 5247548 * 5247545 Of course, trying to access them gives the "badtitle" message. Looks like the deletion failed to remove the related entries in RecentChanges. Someone needs to review server logs to identify if an error occurred while deleting the page, ask Thehelpfulone (who deleted the page) if he get any error message when deleting, and maybe try to restore the page and delete it again to see if the entries disappear from rc.
From the API: Deletion: <rc type="log" ns="0" title="Www.wikipedia.com template" rcid="3908399" pageid="0" revid="0" old_revid="0" timestamp="2013-02-16T15:52:36Z" /> My edits: <rc type="edit" ns="0" title="Www.wikipedia.com template" rcid="3908398" pageid="2204829" revid="5247549" old_revid="5247548" timestamp="2013-02-16T15:52:35Z" /> <rc type="edit" ns="0" title="Www.wikipedia.com template" rcid="3908397" pageid="2204829" revid="5247548" old_revid="5247545" timestamp="2013-02-16T15:52:09Z" /> [2 unrelated entries] Creation of page: <rc type="new" ns="0" title="Www.wikipedia.com template" rcid="3908394" pageid="2204829" revid="5247545" old_revid="0" timestamp="2013-02-16T15:49:54Z" /> Deletion: 2013-02-16T15:52:36Z My edit*: 2013-02-16T15:52:35Z *I made the last edit to the page before it was deleted, almost exactly when the page was deleted.
AFAIK, this has not happened since.
