The strange thing is that if your assumption is correct, editing the empty page
would never remove the question mark. My experience has been that if I edit the
page every place it appears with a question mark it will eventually go away.
It's as if 2 or 3 versions of the same page are being created, although I have
yet to actually see differences depending on where it's opened.
