User:Unknown user
Appearance
(Redirected from User talk:Unknown user)
This user name is unavailable. It is reserved for use by the software system, when an expected user name is missing. "Unknown user" may appear in page history when importing a file containing a revision-deleted username, or if the import file is damaged. It is the modern designation of corrupted data in some rolled-back edits from May 2004 when the English Wikipedia began using MediaWiki 1.3 (see this diff at Tropical cyclone and bug #789 in the old SourceForge system). It is unclear whether the software uses this user name in any other situations.
