A revert is (broadly speaking) an edit removing some previous contributions from a page. It is usually used when combating spam, vandalism and removing other content that is considered unsuitable on your wiki.

MediaWiki provides multiple methods of reverting changes, along with additional features that will help you keep track of reverts and reverted edits.

Revert methods
This section describes all revert methods provided by MediaWiki by default. Extensions and gadgets may add more revert methods.

Manual revert
A manual revert is performed by simply editing a page and manually removing parts of it. You can also pick a previous revision from page's history and, while viewing it, click the edit button. This will let you base your edit on that previous revision that does not contain undesirable content.
