I have absolutely no idea why the this page's history section looks like it's been hit by a truck. All I did was insert a folder for the Coldtaurs, between the folders of the flock and Durpleton's parents.

It's a fairly consistent issue when something like a new folder is inserted into a page. The site's programming doesn't really parse additions the way a person would; if a word or element that's present in the new material is also present in the stuff that's getting moved down the page then it assumes that that word or element is actually being kept and you're just editing around it. Basically it assumes that you're actually rewriting another section instead of putting in a new one, and then just keeps modifying everything below it because it thinks that you're changing each section to match the ones getting pushed down (basically, if you insert Folder A between Folder 1 and Folder 2, it thinks you're rewriting Folder 2 to be Folder A, and Folder 3 to be Folder 2, and Folder 4 to be Folder 3, and so on and so forth). In some cases it interprets edits as working down the whole page in this manner.

It's messy and confusing, but it's just an issue with how the site processes edits. It happens all the time.
