Description:
Please have a look at the given URL.

Page protection should result in a null diff, not in that what shows up there.

Note: The version itself (edit mode) is still correct and shows no difference to the one before.

I don't see the bug...?

Protection entries in page histories use a null revision, which points to the text record of the previous sequential revision for that page; the diff shows up fine, that is, it reflects no changes, because the two text records are identical.

I think he was referring to http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Spinnentiere&diff=32154066&oldid=32147526.

I know that the protection diff was fucked up the last time I checked this. Must have been a cache error.

Note: the diff I gave above showed up as the protection edit by FritzG, but with some additional lines that did not at all belong to this article. This was the case for all people who tried it even more one week after I reported the bug. As this link now shows up as my test edit, it was perhaps related to disordered revision numbers.

Anyway, it seems to have been a cache issue in fact. Closing as WFM therefore now.

Re-opened, the underlying issue is still there nevertheless.

Assuming this was bogus diff problem (bug 9533), duping.
