Wiki page showing up as last changed by UnknownAuthor

[Carlson, Eric R]

We are running JSPWiki 2.8.0, and I have security set up so that everyone can view wiki pages, but a user must be signed-on in order to be allowed to edit or create a page.  I've seen this in effect myself when I have tried to edit a page only to be told that I'm an unauthenticated user (not logged in yet).

This morning I noticed a page in the 'Recent Updates' list that says it was edited by 'UnknownAuthor'.  It also says the same thing when I open the page and view the 'Info' tab.

Other than having someone change their user preferences so their name was 'UnknownAuthor' (which I doubt anyone did), how would this be possible?   Has anyone seen this before?

are these ones pages that were there before you set up your wiki ?
those ones don't have a history (1 version), you can verify that by looking
in jspwiki's pages/OLD directory, if there is no page.properties file for
the page, then that is the case.

If you would modify such a page and save it, it should show a valid user.

Harry,

        I don't think there were any pages present before I set up the wiki.  All have been added since.  In this case, this appears to be a new page created yesterday.
