Created attachment 13268 [details] my "revert"-type notification The Echo extensions sends notifications of type "reverted" without checking if the edit was an actual revert: in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=572391117 the IP added a single line return but preserved the original "undo" summary, and that triggered a notification to my account. Instead, this check should be based on the actual page content. This could also work with non-mw rollback tools (Twinkle, etc.)

oops, correct URL: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?oldid=572814015#A_bit_concerned_about_revert_notifications%2E
Confirmed on Portuguese Wikipedia: 1) Go to https://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Página_de_testes/4?action=edit 2) Make an edit: https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=36963044 3) Open the diff using another account and click on "undo": https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikip%C3%A9dia:P%C3%A1gina_de_testes/4&action=edit&undoafter=36960091&undo=36963044 4) This will fill in the summary with the default revert summary, which in Portuguese is as follows: "Desfeita a edição 36963044 de [[Special:Contribs/Reverta-me|Reverta-me]]" 5) Restore the content which would be deleted by the reversion, and add some extra, and save: https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=36963048 6) Go to the first account and notice the reversion notification pointing to https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikip%C3%A9dia:P%C3%A1gina_de_testes/4&oldid=36963048&diff=prev On the other hand, 1) Make the same edit again and open the diff with another account: https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=36963052 2) Click on "undo" and copy the default revert summary 3) Click on "edit" (i.e., discard the reversion and just start a new edit) 4) Paste the revert summary in the summary field: "Desfeita a edição 36963052 de [[Special:Contribs/Reverta-me|Reverta-me]]" 5) Remove the content added by the first account from the edit box (i.e., make a "manual" reversion) and save: https://pt.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=36963078 6) The first account will NOT be notified of this reversion
