I went to check my contributions, so I searched up my name in the User box. It looked normal at first, but there were strange patterns of random dots in between usernames, article names, etc. My name in the textbox had also disappeared. I checked some of the contributions from the list and they all belonged to random users instead of me:
In the picture, each contribution shows the article a user edited and then the user that edited it right beside it, except there are periods separating the two. I tried searching my own name up in the textbox and then clicking go as well as refreshing several times, but the same thing still happened.

Hey @Hailey
- I can’t tell from your screenshot; do you have “Show contributions of new accounts only” checked at the top? If so, that’s probably what’s causing this - it doesn’t use your name; it shows contribs from new folks.
To see your contribs, use the second checkmark instead (“IP address or username”) and put your name in there: http://www.wikihow.com/Special:Contributions/Hailey

I tried it now and realized I must have checked the “Show contributions of new accounts only” box without noticing.
