If anyone cares, I can put up the diff file somewhere.
"Removals" include
- redirects, like !Bang! -> Funking_Conservatory
- renaming, e.g. $O$ -> $O$_(Die_Antwoord_album)
Or "It"_–_The_Album -> "It"_the_Album
- renaming by removing qualifier, e.g. Centrify_(software) -> Centrify
- changing Q number, e.g. "Babbacombe"_Lee Q4540274 -> Q1401456
Looking at the file confirms what Dimitris implied: changes are the result of normal
editorial actions.
Both files include Template: and Category: pages.
But 12.7% changes of page titles or Q numbers in 3-4 months is a lot!
