Andrew, Speaking as someone who does reversions, reversions are tricky. Doing them in an automated way does not always get you what you expect if there's been an interim edit, and even knowing if there's going to be a problem with an automated reversion requires a bit of deep introspection onto the changeset.
So maybe the right solution is (as has been proposed before) is changeset comments and flags. - Serge On Sat, Nov 9, 2013 at 3:45 PM, Andrew Hain <[email protected]> wrote: > Every so often a new user asks how to revert their editing mistake.
