So you mean when we receive a "page restore" action, we couldn't determine which revisions are restored, right?

Do we have any other ways to achieve this goal?

Thanks.

That's right (except for a few log entries added).

If you didn't specify just a few revisions to restore, it should restore
all of them (if the page already had some deleted revisions before you
deleted, you may be restoring more revisions than you deleted!).
