Is this database corruption profile created 2011, but history only shows merge into them today?

Question

I came across two confusing profile histories:

• https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:NetworkFeed&who=Unknown-554476
• https://www.wikitree.com/index.php?title=Special:NetworkFeed&who=Unknown-554475

Both only show history for today by https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Anderson-20093 but both merged into today and profile manager dates to 2011 as https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Jackson-2251

How can the two profiles merged into date for 2011 but only have activity today?

Answer 1

To see the history of the merged-away profiles, open the Change log.  Within the lines of changes, click the link to Unk-216 or Unk-221.

Comments

Yes, the merged away profiles were created today and merged into the ones from 2011 that show no history.

Merged-away profiles Unk-216 and Unk-221 were both imported 22 May 2011, as their histories show.

Ok, so the new profile inherits the date from the old profile.

Yes the creation date comes from the first profile created.  Thanks for the star!
