Reviewed / Cancelled

Hello,

If an edit has been cancelled, why does it still appear as non reviewed ?

Example : IP edit, User / Bot cancel, the edit could be marked as reviewed, because it must has been seen and evaluated by the user/bot ... Then it doesn't appear in the filter anymore and we don't have to check it again.

Maybe not the best place to talk about it, but .. Thanks.

All edits appears in the RecentChanges. It is possible to filters the last edits, by using "Last revision". But in some cases, it can be useful to have all edits, even if they have been reverted, because this revert can be a wrong one.

Your idea is to have a filter ti exclude all patrolled edits? It exists on wikis where it is possible to mark pages as patrolled (like on French Wikipedia): "Patrolled". But it requires people to mark all edits patrolled as patrolled.

@Trizek (WMF)

would it be possible to automatically mark as "read" edits that have been reverted ?

It is really tedious to go to each vandal edit, to find that it's been reverted, but NOT marked as read, especially for "mass" revert, when a number of edits is cancelled by restauring a previous version : each edit has to be marked as read manually... It would really help patrolling if that was automatic :)

hi @Hsarrazin. We are completely with you that being able to filter out reverted edits would be a big help and are planning to add a "Reverted" filter (T164307 ). We need to wait for some structural changes to be made to the Mediawiki database before we can add this useful tool. I'm told they should be made this calendar year. So thanks for your patience, but know that we are on it.
