Did you communicate first? The first reversion is wrong, regardless of who does it, unless they've communicated.
I disagree. Entirely.
Example 1: Admin A protects a 'high use' template to prevent possible vandalism. Months pass and the template is deprecated and is now barely used. Admin B unprotects the template without 'discussion'. Admin B has done nothing wrong whatsoever.
"Months pass". That's the key, of course. We're not talking about actions taken months later.
Example 2: Admin A is in discussion with other admins and states that they are going to take a course of action. The other admins all strongly object and state their reasons. Admin A goes ahead with their plan anyway. No reversion has taken place but in my view Admin A is clearly 'wrong' and any Admin B would be justified in reversing it based on the existing consensus.
Ah, but then we're already in discussion, aren't we? And if "other admins" object, then there is a clear consensus against the action.
We need to deal with the real issues here, not strawman scenarios.
