             Bug #: 30690
           Summary: mark admin reverts as reverts in page histories and
                    data dumps
           Product: MediaWiki
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Unprioritized
         Component: Recent changes
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
    Classification: Unclassified


Just like how new pages (N) and minor edits (m) are maked, perhaps admin
reverts should also be marked.

It is difficult to tell which reverts are by administrator revert, which ones
are by tools (unless tool has a marking), and which ones are fake reverts with
fake edit summaries particularly when data mining the data dumps. This would
significantly improve research results as it would take less time to data mine
and more time to process the results.

In addition a server-side script could perhaps be run once to mark reverts in
the past making the flag a standard in the data dumps.
