It looks like @zogstrip has already pushed a fix for this yesterday in

FIX: Record bulk tag and category changes as their own revision (#41364)

committed 02:51PM - 02 Jul 26 UTC

Previously, bulk tag, category, and conversion changes skipped creating a post r…evision, so each change silently folded into the topic's most recent revision — attributing it to that revision's author and date rather than to whoever ran the bulk action. This was reported for the new bulk "Manage tags" flow on [meta](https://meta.discourse.org/t/better-bulk-tag-management/402693). This routes every bulk metadata change through `PostRevisor` so it always records its own revision, attributed to the acting user. Along the way it also: - Unifies the silent/notify handling across bulk actions: the bulk "Manage tags" modal gains a "Notify users" checkbox, and the bulk convert modal's checkbox now actually toggles notifications instead of doing nothing. - Records topic conversions as a staff-only (hidden) revision so a former private message is not disclosed in public edit history. - Stops a different user's hidden-tag change from folding into an earlier author's revision. - Removes the now-redundant `create_revision_on_bulk_topic_moves` site setting, whose disabled state reintroduced the bug and whose enabled state was already the default.
