I am trying to VEdit https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Elitre_%28WMF%29/Sandbox&oldid=573480590&veaction=edit , which is a blank version of my sandbox. There's a lot of white space between the title of the page and the point where I can start adding text, and although the source editor says the page is really empty, looks like there's still something there. If I hover with the mouse right below the comma in the tagline "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia", the cursor changes as if there's an invisible link. 1) Right under the comma, the "link" points to my userpage (it's clickable, and the page will open in the same tab); 2) some pixels below, the link will point to [[Help:Page History]]; 3) going further down, it points to a diff of the sandbox. There are other points in the page which trigger the links, but the page history one is not easy to spot.
The hidden text that causes this, if selected and copy/pasted elsewhere, reads: < User:Elitre (WMF) This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Elitre (WMF) (talk | contribs) at 10:57, 18 September 2013. It may differ significantly from the current revision. Revision as of 10:57, 18 September 2013 by Elitre (WMF) (talk | contribs) This is reported as being common also in articles. Thanks.
Only partly a dupe of bug 52243.
