To address the omnipresent desire of people to know about the speed of vandalism reversion, it would be interesting to have a page showing exactly that; recent reversions, and how long the previous revision had remained there.
On the whole, this would be a positive stat. It would be useful for editors, great for live presentations, and would let reporters and other writers offer more detailed information.
Implementation : anything reverted by an admin clicking the rollback button should show up. Other automatic-rv messages provided by popup-assistants and vandal-fighting software should, too.
Has anyone tried producing something like this? I suppose I should file it as a mediazilla feature request...

It seems it would underreport. By that measure, I would have never reverted any vandalism.

It'd probably be better to parse the IRC recentchanges data than to have something in the mediawiki software. You can sort of do this in CDVF by blacklisting anything that has "revert" in it, or something like that. You wouldn't be able to see the time since the previous revert with it, but it shouldn't be too hard for someone who knows Java to implement that.

On a related note; not quite what was requested (limited to a single page); see also Tony Sidaway's excellent little tool at http://tools.wikimedia.de/~tony_sidaway/cgi-bin/vandalism.
