ContentHandler::getChangeType is limited to a single type per edit, ignoring content model changes
Open, Needs TriagePublicBUG REPORT

Description

getChangeType is used for both automatic summaries and automatic change tags. While having just a single type is great for the automatic summary logic, it isn't good for the logic to automatically add change tags, since multiple tags can be valid. Specifically, while most of the tags shouldn't be combined, since they are either mutually exclusive or one implies the other (blanking the page includes removing a redirect, creating a new page that is a redirect includes creating a new page) content model change can be combined with the others
