It's not so much when the pages are deleted that the problem arises, as when they're undeleted. When they're deleted, the revisions get moved from the revision table to the archive table, where it's possible to tell which pages they came from by the [[mw:Manual:Archive table#ar_page_id]]. When they're undeleted, they get moved back to the revision table, and they all end up with the same [[mw:Manual:Revision table#rev_page]] if they're being undeleted to the same page title. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
