Description

To be exact, I reverted vandalism on this page:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Pathoschild&action=history
As I auto-watch edited pages on Meta I got an e-mail today reading:

Subject: Meta page User talk:Pathoschild has been created by Bsadowski1

The Meta page User talk:Pathoschild has been created on 23 September 2010
by Bsadowski1, see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Pathoschild
for the current revision.

This is a new page.

I remember this happening with another log action aswell a few weeks ago, I can't remember which one though.

I changed the summary to widen the scope from "RevisionDelete by sysops" to "Delete" since today I recieved about 20 mails saying some of the files I was watching becuase of running deletion requests were created.
As confused as I was I see that it is actually notifiying (checked timetamp and username) about the deletion, but it seems it's not capable of notifiying about that.
