Alexanderkowal added a comment to T367672: Allow users to mark their own edits as "proposed" so they can be reviewed by others before being applied, but are then applied automatically after a configurable period of time.

So was flagged revs giving some users rights to mass revert back to a previous rev? I still don't think I get it lol. Apparently the German wikipedia uses proposed edits unilaterally for new editors, so you might be able to copy that and put it behind a checkbox? The edit history shenanigans may be more technically complex

Hi, one of the things that inflame edit wars is the binary between published and unpublished. If someone makes an edit that they feel corrects a grave injustice and it is published, they have achieved their goal. If someone reverts that and makes it unpublished, they would receive it as regression and likely respond angrily. Encouraging the use of proposed edits for controversial edits means that that editor has to work with the reverter in order to achieve their goal of getting the edit published, and the process is one constant progression.
