Does it have the "see your edit here" text / link?

Otherwise it might've just been a typo??

Also, the page is a stub with no tropes.

Malady, the guy has been brought up before for making stub fanfic pages, and apparently suspended. I double-checked my own edit history, and I never edited any of those stub pages at all. My only connection to this guy is a single post in the ATT I linked.

Why not reply to the message and ask what do they even mean?

Did you ever send them notifiers over their edits on that page? If so, they might be responding to the notifiers you sent, and not making queries about edits you supposedly made.

Where do I get to see a list of the notifiers I sent? I checked my inbox, there's a notifier tab there so I thought I would find it there, but nothing.

That's where they should be. If you don't remember using a "Send a Message" button over an edit in the last month, you may have not interacted before.

Definitely zero. Checked all filters on my inbox, I never sent any message to them at all, aside from replying to the PM like you suggested, Amonimus.

You sent them a stub notifier for Fanfic.The Devil King on Sep 22. The notifier has the automatic subject line

Your recent edit for: Fanfic/TheDevilKing

They responded to your notifier today. Their response has the automatic subject line

re: Your recent edit for: Fanfic/TheDevilKing
The "Your" is referring to Insane-Makaioshin, because it's from the notifier you sent out.

Oh, I see it and remember now. Sorry, I guess I just lumped it together with the other PM.
