I think the way this is displayed in the topic’s revision history needs to be improved. Currently, it’s not clear when the change was made.
Here is the latest revision of the topic before the change: Almost a year ago I added the normaland the trackedtag.
So today I used bulk select to select that topic
And removed the how-to tag from that topic
I expected a new revision with the recent change to be created. But instead this was added to the revision from about a year ago
And it’s even more confusing that the same also happens when I was not the last one who edited the topic. Here it looks like tester removed the how-to tag. But it was me using the bulk action. This makes it very difficult to determine who is responsible for an edit.

This still seems to be an issue. Is there a workaround to avoid incorrect edit histories without having to edit each topic individually?

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