As far as I understand Mediawiki, this could have
happened this way:
you have [[George Walker Bush]] on your watchlist.
a troll moves the page to [[George Wanker Bush]].
Mediawiki is keeping the Watchlist entry and adds a
new one for the new
page on the old name.
If this gets reverted, the lists could mess up. This
is likely an issue
to discuss on the tech-list. I wonder if an
developer could falsify my
speculations.
That's exactly how it happens - the page gets moved
back to its original location and the redirect
[[George Wanker Bush]] is speedily deleted, usually
before most people notice. Deleted pages stay on your
watchlist, so they seem to just pop up with no
evidence of how they got there.
