    Description

      Hi,

      There is a bug which causes too many pages shown as "recently changed" on the dashboard.

      Steps to reproduce:

      Create a page A that links to Page B in a different space.
      When Page B is moved to another space, then Page A is shown as "updated" on the dashboard.
      Page B is also shown as "updated".

      There are many bugs here at once:
      1. Page A is shown as "updated" although it was neither changed nor moved.
      2. The update is shown with the picture of user "user1" although I did not change Page A.
      3. There is no "what did you change" comment on the dashboard for Page A, because no one could enter a such a comment.
      4. A page comparison with the previous version of page A shows no changes at all. Because their are none.
      5. Page B is also shown as "updated", without any "what did you change comment".
      It should rather be "moved" (makes the "what did you change" comment unnecessary.)
      6. A page comparison with the previous version of page B also shows no changes at all.
      7. All the subpages move when moving page A, too, but only page A is shown as "updated" on the dashboard

      Either all of them or no of them should appear on the dashboard so this seems not to be logical.

      When it happens automatically, then there is no change comment on the dashboard, and there is also no difference to see when comparing the page to the previous version. So the users think someone has edited the page and just saved it without changing anything. Also rather than always showing just "updated" the nature of the reason why a page is shown on the desktop should be more detailed. Also there should never be a change update shown with the logo of a person who did not change the page.

      Update

      I was not able to reproduce the bug in 4.3.7 version of Confluence.
