({{PLURAL:$1|One intermediate revision|$1 intermediate revisions}} by more than $2 {{PLURAL:$2|user|users}} not shown) from MediaWiki:Diff-multi-manyusers

As I assume: From the second part of the sentence ( {{PLURAL:$2|) it is clear that there are more than one user, Then how more than one user can do "One intermediate revision" (First plural $1)? Something missing?

Please have a look at the translation hint. It should be clear.

So doesn't this mean that the PLURAL:$1 is unnecessary?

For many languages yes, but it is needed for some.
