Also, JamieCarollKrol info on XTools show 0 edits in Mediawiki!

So, the problem here from XTools or Mediawiki-CentralAuth?

Something fishy is going on.
When a user is expected to have no deleted contributions, Special:DeletedContributions should show the message nocontribs, but that message is not shown on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:DeletedContributions/JamieCarollKrol. It shows the output of an empty pager instead. Compare to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:DeletedContributions/MainframeBot.

I'm attempting to find out where these edits have gone using Quarry, but so far no luck yet: https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/16995

I checked on the database master, there are no rows in the revision nor archive table corresponding to their user id (12188407).

There's an HTML comment saying <!-- Could not format Special:DeletedContribution row. --> (see DeletedContribsPager::formatRow()).

Please check if they're Flow edits. They'll be on the account of the sysop that deleted the Topic.

Unfortunately, XTools doesn't have access to anything Flow. See T136950 for details.
