• Okay, I was random page surfing, and I found a recently vandalized page. (in Monkey an anonymous IP had changed the words "the" and "a" to lol.) I was trying to revert to a previous version, but when I got to the page with the previous version, I had no idea what to do. I was forced to manually sift through every sentence changing back the lol's to their intended words. In closing, WHY IS THERE NOT FRIKIN REVERT BUTTON ON A PAGE??? I AM JUST TRYING TO COMBAT VANDALISM AND THERE IS NO REVERT BUTTON TO BE SEEN!!! Jedibob5 23:39, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Admins get revert buttons, we normal ones do it manually (sexual innuendo?) by editing a previous version of said article, click history and edit a past revision not vandalized.--Witt, of UNion Entertain me* 23:41, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, I believe there's a page explaining how to revert somewhere - but if you'd like a button, I'd recommend checking out Volte's personal javascript page. By copy-pasting this into your own personal javascript and doing a hard refresh, you'll get a special [Revert to here] button on the top of every 'diff' page - as well as some other fancy crap like NRV tabs and whatnot.   t o m p k i n s  blah. ﺞوﻦ וףה ՃՄ ண்ஸ ފއހ วอฏม +տ trade websites 23:45, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay then. Just wish that was a little more clear. Also, same IP (82.43.7.254) vandalized Amerika, but it was much simpler, with only a vulgar sentence inserted. Admins, please ban this IP. Jedibob5 23:48, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't do simple... but I did ban the guy.   t o m p k i n s  blah. ﺞوﻦ וףה ՃՄ ண்ஸ ފއހ วอฏม +տ trade websites 23:53, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

• Let me just point out that the "REVERT TO HERE" thing doesn't work with Safari. I case you care about my troubles :) --Sir Zombiebaron 00:57, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Duh, nothing on the interweb works in Safari. Not even Safari works in Safari, so how can you expect wiki-related stuff to work? Also, nobody cares about the troubles of Mac users like us. --The Acceptable  Cainad  (Fnord) 01:47, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

• I have Firefox on Windows XP, and Volte's code didn't work. -- §. | WotM | PLS | T | C | A 04:52, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
