edit Revert

In RecentChanges each edit in the wiki has a line that begins:
  • (diff) (hist) . . RogerWheatley.com; 11:08 . . 74.117.235.83 (Talk | block)

Additionally, history is also the 3rd (between 'article' and 'move') tab from the left above.

With these tools, we can correct any un-constructive edits that we or someone else makes. Just go back to the version you want and edit it. Place Revert in the edit summary.

edit RevertTest

  1. Is the edit constructive?
  2. Is the edit good for the reader?
  3. The test is not whether you agree with or like the edit.
  4. Do not needlessly revert edits of a user that has reverted your edits. Such retaliatory actions can quickly escalate into EditWars.

edit RevertVandalism

We've gone back to a previous (good) edit and reloaded the article from there, after vandalism or other unconstructive attacks to the page. If you have a problem with a particular site or institution, please make use of the review section or discussion page to vent in a constructive manner. If you can not abide, then diaf.

The above animation shows an "undo" button I can click on. Today when I used the radio buttons in the "history" to get to an diff page http://www.aboutus.org/BlogCatalog.com?diff=55/53 I expected to see that "undo" button somewhere on that diff page. But I don't see the word "undo" anywhere on that diff page. Am I looking in the wrong place, or has the "undo" button been disabled (perhaps accidentally)? (Is there a better place to ask this kind of question?) --DavidCary 17:58, 22 August 2009 (PDT)
