There are a few types of reverts. Some have "rv" or "rvv" or "revert" [or equivalent in the appropriate language] in the edit summary, undoing 1 edit Some are (-N) changes immediately after a (+N) change, with some other edit summary A combination of the above rolling back multiple edits. Here (-N) is larger than the previous (+M) The first group can be identified with few false positives - and the -N/+N character-change used for confirmation.
