[edit] Reverting edits using rollback

  • Go to the article you wish to use the rollback feature, in this case, we will use this page.
  • Add two or more edits to the article.
  • Go to the history page.
  • Select the blue linked rollback at the right hand side of the last edit string.
  • This will rollback the edits to the edit prior to your edits.
  • To see the difference to the undo tool, go back to the page history and click "undo" instead of rollback.

[edit] Mass reversions

The "rollback" button also appears on the "Contributions" page associated with each editor. If you have examined a number of individual edits by an editor and determined that they all deserve(d) to be removed (for example, they all consisted of inserting the same WP:SPAM you may decide to rollback all recent edits by this editor. This can be done using the "rollback" buttons on the editor's contributions page.

Use this capability carefully, though, because you may blindly end up reverting good edits.
