Description

My abuse filter log https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:AbuseLog&wpSearchUser=RZuo

I wanted to move https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:High_Town_Ward_-_Nov_2013_-_People%27s_Park_-_avenue_of_trees_at_the_top.JPG

It failed once. I opened the file page again, refreshed and tried again. It still failed in the same way.

wikitext I submitted:

<!--This file was moved here using FileImporter from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:High_Town_Ward_-_Nov_2013_-_People%27s_Park_-_avenue_of_trees_at_the_top.JPG-->

That is AbuseFilter checking all of the revisions. T213409: Improve/Dispose AbuseFilter checks on old text revisions

The reason for this confusing failure is because there is actually an empty revision in this file's history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Diff/582254536. We are investigating this issue already in T215429: Special:ImportFile triggers "don't blank pages" edit warning when importing file as well as T213409.
