Description Gurch 2008-10-12 12:06:55 UTC 
Currently there is no API equivalent to the UI's 'undo' function. Imitating it is non-trivial since, unlike rollback or simple reversion, the result of an undo is not always identical to a previous revision of the page.
Comment 1 Roan Kattouw 2008-10-13 17:33:46 UTC 
Closing as WONTFIX.

Figuring out the new page text is a relatively simple operation on the contents of the revisions involved in the undo. It wouldn't be too hard for a bot to grab the revisions it needs, figure out what the text after undo would be and submit that.
Comment 2 Gurch 2008-10-13 18:01:03 UTC 
Heh, fair enough. (The further I get with this project, the less I feel I'm interfacing with MediaWiki and the more I feel I'm re-implementing random bits of it. :)
