I mangled a convert to comment earlier and needed to undelete the post so I could redo it. When the post was converted a second time, I noticed it suddenly had a single undelete vote (it said "undelete (1)" on the link, and showed up in the 10k list). When I undeleted and converted it again it had two votes, and so on:

If I delete normally it works fine; it's only converting to comment (and probably edit, although I didn't try) more than once that leaves behind undelete votes

    Alternatively, you're secretly building up an army of Nega-Mrozeks by undeleting them from non-existence, soon able to topple the world and conquer it under the banner of an angry glaring chess piece. This is no bug report, but a preview of the future's madness under your iron rule!

  • @Grace I wish I could get this to work on close votes instead of undelete votes; I would make every closed post say I voted to close it five times

    I'm also kind of curious why the space between revision blocks gets bigger as you go up the list

    I don't believe this actually happens.

    Don't you think they'd like some cucumber sandwiches as well?

    What a marvellous idea! Summon the chef to prepare the breadknife.

    We mustn't forget to include the jar jam to swill in our teas

    Yes! We can pretend we are all Leo Tolstoys and marvel at the wonder of life

    @Wont Well, you appear to be outvoted 7-1

    Notice this also works for any post that gets deleted, then undeleted to convert to comment. I haven't tried with delete-undelete-delete proper.

This will be fixed in the next build. There is a vote cleanup function for old votes that wasn't running on this code path...and is now.
