Repeated reverts of vandalism like on this page: https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki/tr&action=history cause a link notification to be sent every time the old text is re-instated. We should either ignore repeated addition of the same link from the same page, or detect the revert as such.
Created attachment 11837 [details] Example of identical notifications for the same link being added
The best way I can think of to solve this would be, at the point at which a link is created, look at all the article-link notifications within the recent past (perhaps 7 days) and if there is already a notification corresponding to the same pages, don't create a new notification.
To address the problem, I implemented an interim quick fix in here: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/54589/. I think Kaldari's idea is much more flexible, I added a todo note in the code comment.
