Description

Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable): See below

What happens?:

AutoModerator would send repetitive notifications on the user's talkpage on Chinese Wikipedia, even if it only rollback one time. For instance: AutoModerator rollbacked 1.162.12.66's edit, but it sent two notification on their talkpage.

This issue has been occurring since 2/20 in every rollbacks (See AutoModerator's contributions on zhwiki).

What should have happened instead?:
It should only send one notification per one rollback.

Kgraessle moved this task from Ready to In Progress on the Moderator-Tools-Team (Kanban) board.

On February 20th, it looks like the configuration

"AutoModeratorEnableBotFlag": true,

was changed to

"AutoModeratorEnableBotFlag": false,

See here.

I was able to validate this is the cause locally by changing on-wiki configuration and seeing the talk page message sent twice.
I will work on a demo patch fix.
