What is the exact difference between a "review" and a "change"?
Do you refer to some specific change on a wiki which has something like FlaggedRevs installed, maybe? Please always provide steps to reproduce some situation.
Not sure I fully understand the question.
A "change" is when a page is edited.
"Reviewed" is when a reviewer has marked the page as "reviewed".
They both trigger e-mails saying "changed".
It would be friendly if the e-mail made a distinction between editing and tagging.
MediaWiki itself has no concept of marking a page as "reviewed".
Please provide clearer steps to reproduce; see my previous concept.
Unfortunately closing this Phabricator task as no further information has been provided.
@GhostInTheMachine: After you have provided the information asked for and if this still happens, please set the status of this task back to "Open" via the Add Action... → Change Status dropdown. Thanks!

i.e. They have different body text, but are both given the same style of subject: "... has been changed ...".
Looking into this, the function composeCommonMailtext tests for an old page ID.
So, there needs to be new e-mail subject line string that indicates a change of status.
This would extend the five current values for the subject text:

Ideally, the message should be more be specific and state the type of status change.
