GlobalContributions: Edits are sometimes missing from the returned contributions

Description

I've noticed a couple of cases of edits (that aren't null edits) being missing from editors' GlobalContributions. Unfortunately, one of the two examples of this that I came across yesterday is now past the 20-edit/wiki limit for viewing an editor's global contributions, so I can no longer reproduce it/link to it. If I come across any more examples of missing edits, I'll update the task description to include them.

@A_smart_kitten, that is because (per the notice at the top of the page) the results are "[l]imited to 20 results per wiki". Giving a quick search for www.mediawiki.org in that page, there are 20 times it appears which suggests that the limit was hit.

....you're right. I should have noticed that. My apologies.

I can't remember the exact circumstances of the other example I noticed yesterday, but I can't rule out it also being the 20-result limit in action. In the absence of any valid examples, I'll close the task.
