Getting the bot2bot revert table loaded into quarry. Check this out: https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/17229

It looks like I must have filtered out self-reverts in a previous step. The mean time to revert in the main namespace is roughly 72 days! I bet that if we look for reverts that happen quickly, we'll find some revert events that look more like actual "conflict". --EpochFail (talk) 20:42, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
I checked out the time to revert distribution. https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/17231
| time_to_revert_block | COUNT(*) | COUNT(DISTINCT rev_user) | COUNT(DISTINCT reverting_user) |
|---|---|---|---|
| < hour | 1476 | 30 | 24 |
| > year | 27022 | 29 | 26 |
| day-week | 7153 | 35 | 33 |
| hour-day | 9189 | 32 | 37 |
| month-year | 32631 | 49 | 40 |
| week-month | 7333 | 41 | 34 |
It looks like 1476/84804=1.7% happen within less than an hour. --EpochFail (talk) 20:51, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
Here's a query that gets the reverts that happened within less than an hour. A quick spot check of a few suggests that even these aren't conflict. https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/17233 It looks like this will be a good dataset for spot-checking for "conflict"y bot2bot reverts.
It looks like RussBot and Cydebot are some of the most prolific quick-reverters. https://quarry.wmflabs.org/query/17234
