Hello.

I wonder if anybody knows why there were 6300 edits listed yesterday? I do not think that this has ever happened before, and am worried that something serious may have happened.

It hope so, but that is 3 times as many as normal.

How were typos and grammatical errors revised? Was it some kind of automated script?
 
While there were definitely a considerable amount more edits yesterday than normal (as I was constantly checking the activity), I don't think it'd contribute to 6300 edits.

My guess is a glitch. And once again judging from my long time watching the wiki activity, it does not seem like anything bad happened at all.
 
Okay. I hope so. Although normally this would mean automated, scripted, hidden edits, and the Kav-Bot was not responsible, as far as I checked.
 
Yesterday, at 02:20 PM (Mountain Time) in the afternoon, there was a Wikia crash that briefly happened for a couple minutes. When this happened, none of the Wikia sites were accessible at that time, including community central. However, the Wikia was soon accessible after 5 to 10 minutes after the crash or so.

This was likely a glitch.
 
Okay. Thank you for the information.
