Description peter green 2006-01-23 02:23:44 UTC
what i'd like is the ability to tell the software to run a diff between two
versions and then use that diff as a patch to remove that edit from the current
version without touching the edits in between.

obviously the patch may fail to apply perfectly so a preview of the changes and
a list of failed hunks would be important but it could still save quite a bit of
hassle in removing vandalism that wen't unnoticed for a while.

Hallo!

Marking as depending on
Bug 3576: Patch to implement rev_deleted (deletion of single article 
revisions)

Please note that in diff the rightmost revision is rendered in LTR 
wikies and the leftmost in RTL wikies.

Sometimes these revisions would not load / render as described in
Bug 4641: Fatal Error in Sanitizer.php

As a consequence rev_delete links should be available at both revisions.

best regards reinhardt [[user:gangleri]]

no i'm not talking about removing information from the history i'm talking about
a way to revert vandalism without having to manually merge the edits since
Comment 4 Rob Church 2006-02-23 12:42:22 UTC
Sorry, I read the summary, then Gangleri's comment, and made a mistake.
Comment 5 Rob Church 2006-12-03 14:35:14 UTC
This was added a little while ago, in the form of the Undo feature.
