Article::generateReason returns wrong result when all users except one are hidden

Description

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create Account EvilUser
  2. Create page A as EvilUser
  3. Login as Oversighter
  4. Block & Hide EvilUser
  5. User XY edits page A
  6. Go to the deletion form of page A
  7. See auto-reason: "content was: 'old content' (and the only contributor was '[[Special:Contributions/XY|XY]]')". Even though EvilUser created the page and user XY probably just requested deletion.

This is somewhat connected to T24627: PHP notice when deleting a page only a hidden user has edited.

I don't think this is important, I just want to document this bug.
