Thanks for the fix.

Is it possible for them to have created some arbitrary page. Then in
the comment for major/minor remarks, they place some exceeding long
entries so it appears in the Recent changes page?

If so, is there way force a length limit on the change remarks. (This
might have the adverse effect of leading to more pages of spam to
insert more sites in the Recent changes pages.

Just a thought (and I have no idea how the current change remarks
work.) :-D

Thanks, Markus.
