Introduced in branch: 
8.2.x
Introduced in version: 
8.2.0
Description: 

The "Create new revision" checkbox is now checked by default when creating new content types and for the article and page content types, which come with the standard install profile.

It is still possible to override this by unchecking the "Create new revision" checkbox, but the best practice is to use revisions and therefore a sensible default.

Impacts: 
Site builders, administrators, editors
