Обсуждение: Wiki change (oops)
I wanted to add a point to the 83ReleaseFeatures page on the wiki. Did that, and upon saving it seems it ate about half the page - parts that I certainly didn't edit. Anyway. I can find the revision history, but I can't figure out how to revert the changes and go back to the earlier version. Can someone who knows how to handle the software please do that? (And feel free to tell me how to do it) And when at it, please add something along the line of what I added earlier - if I do the same thing again, it'll likely eat the page again. //Magnus

Obviously *I* can't do that since I'm not (AFAIK) not a wikisysop (and shouldn't be). But someone who is, please do that :-) //Magnus

Can someone who > knows how to handle the software please do that? (And feel free to tell me > how to do it) All fixed up. You don't need advanced privs, just click on the history tab, call up the older version, and edit that. It'll give you a warning about losing all future changes, but that's what we want in this case. I went back before your first change, and added in the two bullet points. > And when at it, please add something along the line of what I added earlier > - if I do the same thing again, it'll likely eat the page again. That's fine, it's a wiki after all, so feel free to experiment and blow things up: it's nigh-impossible to do any real lasting damage. :) Also, keep in mind you can edit a section at a time as opposed to the whole page. - -- Greg Sabino Mullane greg@turnstep.com PGP Key: 0x14964AC8 200711120856 http://biglumber.com/x/web?pk=2529DF6AB8F79407E94445B4BC9B906714964AC8 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFHOFu8vJuQZxSWSsgRA08MAJ0Tn9hqb96cpEGCnJ7iUPtmo71HNgCghQH3 zgioDE6G4lh4Rkg0MDu9PaI= =/8aa -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

For future reference, there is a way to do this without being a sysop. Go into the History tab and click on the date/time of the older revision you want to restore. Click on Edit. As it will warn you, if you then save that page, you will essentially have reverted changes made since that version. -- * Greg Smith gsmith@gregsmith.com http://www.gregsmith.com Baltimore, MD
