Description

I just visited https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:NewMessages on MediaWiki 1.23wmf7 while not logged in and it was showing messages for me that I have not contributed to.

I checked the page source, and wgUser is "null".

I think the expected result is that Special:NewMessages never gives results for anonymous users.

Dupe of T42089: Special:NewMessages is incorrectly showing log-in only data?

LiquidThreads has been replaced by StructuredDiscussions on all Wikimedia production wikis (except one, which will be done soon). It is no longer under active development or maintenance, so I'm re-classifying all open LQT tasks as "Lowest" priority.
