While referencing our MediaWiki's "Latest Visitors" log in cPanel, I'm  
noticing odd links being accessed.  For example, this is a normal  
article:

http://wikicoins.com/Porthole_Note

This same article is shown in the "Latest Visitors" log as:

http://wikicoins.com/index.php?title=Porthole_Note&amp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Baction=edit&amp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bsection=4&amp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bprintable=http%3A%2F%2Fsinzinuri.com%2Fimsi%2Fdb%2Fpic%2Fhuv%2Fabey%2F&amp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bprintable=yes&amp%3Bamp%3Bamp%3Bprintable=yes&amp%3Bamp%3Bprintable=yes&amp%3Bprintable=yes&printable=yes

Likewise, I am seeing links with "hideminor" and "hidemyself" being  
accessed:

http://www.wikicoins.com//index.php?title=Special:Recentchanges&hidepatrolled=0&limit=500&hideminor=1&hidemyself=1&

Users must login to modify the wiki yet I am seeing this activity.  I  
can't find a record of links being created or database records.  Does  
anyone have experience with this?

Thank you,

James
