One important note and p.s. on the nitpick.

Also, this may have implications for how we display watchlist items: considering grouping edits by user, and only displaying most recent edits (i.e. only rollback eligible edits)
Very important: what you propose here is called enhanced recent changes. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Enhanced_recent_changes It will become the default in 1.23, but not on Wikimedia projects. https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35785

note 2: undo occurs on an edit, revert and rollback operate on
revisions. on
desktop the list of edits and the list of revisions is the same
interface
but it may make sense to divide these on mobile.
I'm confused -- edits and revisions are synonymous. In both cases, we're talking about atomic changes to a single document that are stored sequentially as a version history. Am I missing something?
What Kenan meant is that the undo feature undoes *the diff*, i.e. applies the specific diff you're reverting, in the opposite direction. Rollback on the other hand is an older and more drastic feature which completely restores a previous revision as a whole, whatever happened after it.
