The "usermerge" procedure is presently irreversible. Are there plans for a way to make it reversible in case of error? I'm assuming error (and a great deal of tedious mucking about to go back) is inevitable, since the action is taken by humans.
I assume this is about the UserMerge extension? (Note we're not currently using this at Wikimedia.)
It would probably be tricky to implement, but not impossible. Basically would need to record which revisions, log entries, etc got reassigned (potentially many tens of thousands in a single merge event) and their original assignment.
