Moving to the Babel component.
Did a bit of digging and it seems like the edits are made automatically during a parser hook (ick!). So if a user makes an edit while using a mobile device which causes MF to think that the Babel edit was made via a mobile device.

The problem still exists: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Babel_AutoCreate
Recommend re-testing after my patch for T184941: Babel AutoCreate creating empty categories (already on page preview) is merged, since that may fix the problem.
Do you think this patch may fix the problem? https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/Babel/+/1093826?usp=email
