From the wikipedia policy page:
> Consider reverting only when necessary. BRD does not encourage reverting
It's bizarre that you think it "puts reverting at the center of the recommended approach to editing" when the policy specifically says it doesn't even encourage reverting.
- denton-scratch 5y agoWhich "policy page" were you referring to? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Policies_and_guideli... doesn't mention reverting at all (rather surprisingly). IME, the majority of edits on WP seem to be reverts. I don't see much evidence of reverting being discouraged.
- akolbe 5y agoThat passage is from here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BOLD,_revert,_discuss_cycle https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:BOLD,_revert,_discus... It's an "explanatory supplement" to the Consensus policy. The problem with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines is that arguably there are so many of them that you can almost always find one that says what you want it to say. :) And if not, WP:IAR will do the trick. That, too, is policy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ignore_all_rules https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Ignore_all_rules
