Mark Reverted helps you sift through pages with large numbers of diffs, by highlighting reverted edits. It works not only on history pages, but also user contributions, recent changes, edit filter logs, and even dramaboards.
Add the line ((subst:iusc|User:Suffusion of Yellow/mark-reverted.js))
to your common.js page.
This script may require hundreds of API calls, so it will not run automatically on every page. To activate it, click on the Mark reverted link under tools.
A sneaky IP-hopping vandal leaves behind hundreds of unsourced birthdate changes before being blocked. Most were reverted long ago, but the rest are buried behind other edits, so a script like massRollback is of no use. This script will quickly highlight the ones that need checking.
Other places to try it:
Creating an edit filter? Crowdsource the testing phase: Set the filter to log-only, and wait for a few hundred hits to build up. Go to the log, select "With saved changes only". If the filter has a low false positive rate, Mark Reverted should reveal a sea of (mostly) green, with only a few hits to check manually.
