Can't be, it was around since 2012 according to the uncut Playing With page.

Possibly a troll? Like that time yesteryear when a vandal tried to Delete Groin Attack...

To process the Cut List a mod would have had to push the button. Wondering if someone tried to fix the capitalization at some point and the matrix glitched up.

It would have had to have been very recently, as I know we cleaned up some of the RL examples back on the 11th.

It was indeed. The "capitalisation" is "cut requested: 9th Novcut date: 16th Nov", and the "restored" was requested and cut on the 16th. Must be someone irrationally opposed to the page like this Groin Attack guy.

I'm not exactly certain what happened between the 14th and the 16th, but there was a problem with the page restore tool. However, I was able to get the most recently edited version of the page that wasn't random buttons being pressed.

I was using the page restore tool with other pages (since someone wanted some cut subpages sandboxed for archival purposes) and made some misclicks along the way by hitting the "restore" button for the wrong pages, and cutlisting the pages I restored by mistake. That's why the cutlist reasons are wonky. However, in this case, it looks like I cut the wrong page by mistake as well, so thanks for pointing out this mistake.
