Help:Reverting Content to Previous Version

When you revert an article to a previous version, you are eliminating the edits of one or more contributors. It's a good idea to contact those contributors and/or give your reasons on the Talk page. Explain what you intend to do and give them a chance to respond. In the long run it is better to negotiate before hand, thus smoothing over possible hurt feelings and preventing a Revert War.

Also, consider the Three-revert rule if doing a revert or extensive editing.

When you are ready to revert an article to a previous version, do the following:


 * Navigate to the article that you wish to revert.


 * Click on its View History page.


 * Choose a previous version and click on its (undo).


 * The article for that date should now open in an Edit Window.


 * At the bottom of the page under the Edit Window, fill in the Summary.


 * Then Click on the Save page button.
