I'd like to report a major bug
I lost contributions (ie some contributions I made are not listed in my contributions list) and I have contributions listed, that I never made.
See my contributions list
http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&target=...
------
According to that list, I made only 4 contribs these past 3 days * 2 jun 2004 à 19:52 (hist) Discuter:Métazoaire (dernière) [révoquer] * 2 jun 2004 à 19:50 (hist) Zoologie (dernière) [révoquer] * 2 jun 2004 à 19:48 (hist) Animal (dernière) [révoquer] * 1 jun 2004 à 13:59 (hist) M Wikipédia:Statuts de la Fondation Wikimedia (test) (dernière) [révoquer]
Well, I am sure I did many more.
See for example
http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impuissance History : http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Impuissance&action=history
That article I created is listed no where in my contributions.
------
According to that contribution list, I made no contribution between the 17th of may to the 28th of may. Which I very strongly doubt, as I make edits basically everyday.
------
According to my contribution list, I contributed to http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia-garbage
while history shows...
http://fr.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia-garbage&action=hist...
And I am really sure I never did anything on that article
-------
According to that list, I have not edited the bistro since many many days, when I made a lot of clean up on the 30th.

In short, the contribution list is ALL MESSED UP.
Is it the same for other users ?
Shai indicated to me a reason why I contributed to articles to which I never contributed. It seems it was a bug. Well.....
As for my lost contributions, I found them. Contributions are not sorted by date. So, I had to go back in time to find the recent ones. Odd.
Could we have date-sorted contributions ?

Not only contributions, the same bug seems to influence the article history. Take a look here: http://de.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Vorlage:Hauptseite_Wikipedia_aktu...

Something is or was sometimes not updating inverse_timestamp, which is used to do the date sorting in history and contribs (because MySQL 3.x couldn't optimize a descending sort on an index). I've fixed that particular page, but the bug needs to be fixed if it's still there.

Well, thanks. I hope it is fixed eventually, because typically, if one want to follow the contributions of a vandal or only a problematic user, one can't be sure he reached all this person contributions if they are mixed.
