Description

Now that LLM slop is more and more common there are many instances where I know that all edits by account X should be reverted, but my time is limited and I have no attention span. It doesn't feel right to just ignore it or to dump the responsibility on someone else.

Groups who would immensely benefit from something like this is include en:Wikipedia:WikiProject AI Cleanup, the Small Wiki Monitoring Team, and basically anyone in the Countervandalism Network.

If editconflicted, it should have an interface that shows both options, allowing the user to choose which to keep.

If the target user added some text, and then someone else came along and made an edit that is completely inside the added text, it should propose removing the text including the improvement.

We do have en:User:Writ Keeper/Scripts/massRollback, we need an undo version of that.

If you want to do this properly (in the long run) you'd combine something like en:User:Polygnotus/Scripts/Filter.js with en:User:Andrybak/Scripts/Contribs ranger.js and/or en:User:Polygnotus/Scripts/ListGenerator2.js to generate lists of edits to be reverted (e.g. all edits in a specific namespace, all edits with a specific editsummary).
