Description

While doublecheking that my updates to filter 7 on ptwiki (for T29987) would not cause regressions (i.e. all previous matches would still be matched by the updated filter), I noticed that for some reason many logs are now missing variables such as "added_lines", "removed_lines", etc. These are the 10 most recent examples of this problem:

I checked some log entries from yesterday and I see there are several missing added_lines, etc:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog/16347972
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog/16347966
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog/16347916

But some do have them:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog/16347898
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:AbuseLog/16347646

All of the above entries took place before the rollout of T29987. Are we sure the issue is related? Or maybe I'm misunderstanding when added_lines would be shown? I would expect it to be present if there was any change made with the edit, as opposed to another action such as account creation.
