The 'Changes' option shouldn't be listed under Actions for the first 'revision' of a page.

Thanks @meulie, but I don't really see it as an bug/issue that is shows. Sure, it's failry redundant, but I also don't think it's specifically wrong or problematic.

Perhaps it's just me, but I get confused with 'Changes' at all revisions. If the option wasn't there with the first 'revision' it would be easier to see in which direction the flow goes...

Okay, I've just updated this via dfbc78947f so that the changes link is hidden for the oldest revision to help UX. It's still possible to get to the link, but the removal of the link should help understand the direction as suggested.

This will be part of the next patch release.
