Partial revert interface

The UI of adding the links is the really great part of this feature! It is simple and quick.

Unfortunately, often the process results in several links in one diff, out of which some are overlinking. When a patrolling member visits the diff, they might want to revert part of them. Obviously, it is not very hard to revert several of them by hand for any particular page, but there are many of them so it would help if this process was somehow streamlined.

I would suggest having a version of this tool accessible to the patrollers, where they could review the changes and, in the same interface as the newcomers, cancel some of the changes. The additional profit is that the tool would get the feedback on the reasons, why this particular link should not be wikified.

Thank you for your message Medvednikita.

Coincidentally, we have discussed about this issue in a team meeting more or less while you wrote this message. Having a tool inspired by add a link for patrollers (or, why not, for more experienced newbies) is something we could consider, but only if it is a popular request.
