I'm the original poster -- here is my real-world
use case where a null
edit is required.
My wiki has a custom parser tag, (say) <foobar>. Many articles include it
in their wikitext.
We modified the code for <foobar> to add a feature: autocategorizing. It
automatically categorizes any article that contains it (say, in
"Category:Articles containing the foobar tag").
After this code change is deployed, if you visit an article Blat that
previously contained <foobar>, you will see it is properly categorized at
the bottom. However, if you visit the category page for "Articles
containing the foobar tag", it is missing Blat (and tons of other articles).
If you perform a null edit on Blat, it then shows up on the category page.
Purging Blat (action=purge) does not have this effect.
