Reverted edits

Since version 1.36 reverted edits are marked with the mw-reverted change tag. This applies to all three methods listed above, though additional limitations apply:

• The number of reverted edits must be less or equal to $wgRevertedTagMaxDepth (15 by default).
• The reverting revision itself must not be marked as reverted or deleted.

The mw-reverted change tag is applied shortly after the revert is made if the edit is considered auto-approved, which can have different meanings depending on your wiki's setup:

• If patrolling is enabled on your wiki, auto-approval is equivalent to the edit being autopatrolled. Thus, only users with autopatrol user right will have their reverted tag applied right away.
• If you have installed a content management extension such as FlaggedRevs it can tell MediaWiki if the edit is auto-approved. How exactly is this determined depends on the extension (see: #Extension integration).

If the edit is not considered auto-approved, the reverted tag can be applied later when the edit is approved/patrolled/reviewed.
