Summary: interwiki.py does reverts
Initial Comment:
I got this message. As far as I know is this an old feature, that should be solved a long
time ago.
At this moment I'm working with revision 5909. But I don't know with which version
I did the reverts.
For the description of the feature see the message send by someones else that detected
this feature.
Hello Carsrac,
I would like to draw your attention to these edits made by your bot:
[
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Auge&diff=48157069&oldid=…
article de:Auge] and
[
http://la.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Beatles&diff=562763&o…
article la:The Beatles]. Obviously, the bot didn't edit the version that was at that
time the current one, but an older one. That's equivalent to doing a revert. It seems
that the bot edited the second last version that had been created by a bot. In these cases
that meant a revert of
[
http://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Auge&diff=48157069&oldid=… two
versions] of de:Auge and of
[
http://la.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Beatles&diff=562763&o… 24
versions] of la:The Beatles.
How could that happen? Is there any reason to believe this didn't happen more often? I
believe these are questions to be well considered since the bot seems to have done several
thousand, if not tens of thousands of edits during that time. And it would be very
assuring to know that the possibility that this still can or will happen can be ruled
out.

I don't know whether this and "[ 1999895 ] iw bot doesn't detect edit
conflict" are the same bug, but here it does not really seem to be an edit
conflict. We are talking about 11 and 19 days, repeat DAYS, old versions
here.

rciw.py for example *will* trigger this behavior quite often, sometimes
working on a version more than 10 hours old. I am not however, able to
confirm this on the standard interwiki.py
