Description Marco 2014-09-01 12:54:47 UTC

Recently we get a lot of empty TimedTexts with no content at all created by IPs. As far as I can see there is no reason to create empty TimedText pages and this should be prevented (at least for IPs)

Who's "we"? :) Any public logs available that expose this behavior?

would have shown it if I hadn't deleted them already.

Should be hidden somewhere in my deletion logs:
