I just deleted a page of garbage and at the bottom of the deletion page it says "This page has been accessed times. The page was last modified 23:59 Dec 31, 1969. This page is available under the GNU FDL.". Xo?

weird thing. Somebody linked fr:agriculture durable to en:sustainable agriculture. This is currently an empty page, but the history show the page was created in 1969 31th of december ??? What is going on ? user:anthere
The page doesn't exist. That's what you get if you're foolish enough to click "history" for a page that doesn't exist. :) It probably should display a message like "Page doesn't exist, there is no history" instead of trying to convert a bunch of zeroes into a meaningful history display, but since it's harmless and cosmetic and rarely comes up (linked to nonexistent pages normally are edit pages, which don't have a history link) nobody's got around to fixing it yet. --Brion 10:15 Nov 16, 2002 (UTC)

Should be fixed now; counter/modify date won't show on the immediately-after-deletion page, and also the delete, rename, and protect links should be hidden when viewing a page that doesn't exist. (And delete should now give an error if you do try to delete something that doesn't exist, for instance if someone else deleted it just before you got there.)
Also the old page history of a nonexistent page cosmetic problem that Anthere mentioned is fixed.
(BTW, if anyone's seeing other oddness with page deletion, such as pages refusing to be deleted, or appearing as edit boxes after deletion, or something, please let me know in as much detail as possible _exactly_ what you did and what the wiki showed, step by step. The above tweak may or may not have solved such issues, and I haven't found a way to reproduce it.)
