Description James Forrester 2014-11-18 03:17:26 UTC 
"No difference" is not useful to show to users; the diff page for moves in particular is probably pretty common. Instead, show something nice by way of meta-data (currently the log is written in hard-coded in the acting user/content lang)?
Comment 1 Umherirrender 2014-11-18 16:13:43 UTC 
"No difference" is correct because a move or protect produce a null revision which points to the same text blob than the previous revision. The summary is in content language as the reason or most of other summarys by users.

I am aware of how MediaWiki works. :-) It's insanely stupid UX, however.
