Seasoned Catalan Wikipedia editors are finding strange diffs done by new
editors using VisualEditor. See these examples:
https://ca.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Laocoont_o_sobre_els_l%C3%ADmits_en_la_pintura_i_poesia&diff=13401584&oldid=13401089
https://ca.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Joan_Francesc_Ferrer_Sicilia&curid=1102012&diff=13399985&oldid=13399856
https://ca.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pere_Formiguera_i_Sala&oldid=13189613
https://ca.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pere_Formiguera_i_Sala&diff=13276699&oldid=13276658
We are still figuring out whether these strange edits are made on purpose or
not, by humans or by some VisualEditor bug. Reporting here to check whether
someone else has seen something similar elsewhere, or can shed some light.
