Special:AbuseLog search by user missing some entries
Closed, DuplicatePublic

Description

Other than that the triggering actions were related to account creation (createaccount or autocreateaccount) I can't tell what the pattern is, but it seems that some abuse filter log entries are no longer showing up for searches by user

Examples:
enwiki: OakIslandAllianceGroup is missing log
meta: DannyS712 is a bot is missing log
meta: Reviewxiaomiwatch1420 is missing log
simplewiki: Donald Trump for US president is missing log

Not a regression, this has always worked like this. The accounts are being created by IPs, and we hack around it by assigning the entry to a fake user with the specified account name. This is already problematic, and we should fix the root cause, rather than hacking SpecialAbuseLog.
