You mean "harrietvanger" of "Jan 26th 2019 at 5:59:35 PM", right?

Yeah, I can't find it either...

But, my edits are showing up pretty much immediately...

Strange.

It's most likely a glitch.

^^ Yup, that's the one.

My edits are also showing immediately. If it is a glitch, it's one I've never seen before.

Sometimes if you get an error when saving an edit, the edit may not show up in your history. That may be what happened here, no way to know unless you ask them, though.

It happens when creating pages or making Large Edits.

I have had this glitch happen to me a few times. It's honestly quite annoying.

When it happens, it can even mess up with wicking the page if it has been newly created. What I mean is it will show as a red link when it is actually active. The only current fix I know of right now is to just go back into edit for said page and hit save without actually changing anything.
