False revert notification
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

On the Turkish Wikipedia, I received a revert notification ("Your edit on ‪Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi‬ was reverted"). On inspection, the edit in question turned out not to be at all a revert of my edit.

I suspect that this is related to the fact that my edits on this Wikipedia are not automatically checked, whereas the next edit was by an automatically-checked editor.

The html of the notification in question follows:

<div class="mw-echo-state"><div aria-disabled='false' class='mw-echo-markAsReadButton oo-ui-widget oo-ui-widget-enabled oo-ui-buttonElement oo-ui-buttonElement-frameless oo-ui-iconElement oo-ui-buttonWidget'><a role='button' title='Mark as read' tabindex='0' aria-disabled='false' href='/wiki/%C3%96zel:NotificationsMarkRead/2524756' rel='nofollow' class='oo-ui-buttonElement-button'><span class='oo-ui-iconElement-icon oo-ui-icon-close'></span><span class='oo-ui-labelElement-label'></span><span class='oo-ui-indicatorElement-indicator'></span></a></div><img class="mw-echo-icon" src="/w/extensions/Echo/modules/icons/revert.svg"/><div class="mw-echo-content"><div class="mw-echo-title">Your edit on <strong>‪Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi‬</strong> was reverted</div>

Event Timeline

This does seem like it was related to the fact that it was an automatically checked editor, yes. The event data looks like:

{
    "revid": 17105615,
    "reverted-users-ids": [
        "839346",
        "172419",
        "776093",
        "16851"
    ],
    "reverted-revision-ids": [
        17103552,
        17103881,
        17105295,
        17105577
    ],
    "method": "flaggedrevs-reject"
}

The "flaggedrevs-reject" part and the fact that it lists four revisions that it thinks were reverted at once, corresponding to the four edits between this edit and the previous automatically-checked one, suggest that Echo is misinterpreting what FlaggedRevs is doing somehow.

Actually, strike that, the revision did in fact revert those 4 changes: https://tr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adalet_ve_Kalk%C4%B1nma_Partisi&type=revision&diff=17105615&oldid=17103528 is empty. Everything is working correctly here. The reason it looks confusing is because the revision you were linked to reverts your change and also 3 other changes.
