Edit warring without reverting?

I've seen a case in which an editor kept trying to put the exact same content in a page without giving any justification, and someone else even stated the editor was edit warring. However, the editor who kept trying to include the content, as far as I know, never actually used the revert function. I'm just asking whether such a case would count as an edit war. I thought it would, but this page seems to focus a lot of reverts specifically. I wonder whether that impression was intentional? Diamond Blizzard (talk) 05:59, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

• From the policy: "To revert is to undo the action of another editor." Doesn't matter if you undo, rollback(though this can get you in more trouble if you don't use an edit summary), manually edit, or use some other mechanism to undo the edit; they all count as reverts.

Whoops, I confused "revert" with "undo." Thanks for the explanation.Diamond Blizzard (talk) 06:12, 1 July 2018 (UTC)

Removing/restoring maintenance templates?

An editor keeps removing maintenance templates from an article their created.[1] Does reverting their actions count towards 3RR limit? — kashmīrī ^TALK 10:41, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Isn't it obvious? Kerberous (talk) 15:30, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Would I ask if it was? Does it clarify anywhere that article tags are considered "content"? — kashmīrī ^TALK 15:49, 18 July 2018 (UTC)
