There has been some recent spam for which I am wanting to write an abuse filter. I (temporarily) restored a deleted edit, however, it doesn't show for testing. I can reproduce this on a number of wikis. From my testing, it would seem that a deleted and recovered file stops appearing in standard RecentChanges (except in Deletion log) * page creation https://en.wikisource.org/w/index.php?title=User:Billinghurst/Sandbox_temp&action=history 01:50, 18 April 2013 Billinghurst (Talk | contribs | block) . .
