Jump to: navigation, search

It is not possible to "screw up" the wiki. Versions are saved and can be viewed, compared and reverted to using the history tab.

[edit] Reverting back to a previous version:
  1. Click on history
  2. Click the hyperlink datetime of the version you want to revert to.
  3. Verify that this is the correct version. Move forward and back with the previous/next buttons to get to the proper place.
  4. Click the edit tab and save.
[edit] Adding content from a previous version (partial revision)

For example, there is a way to splice in the old stuff Michael needs (without doing a full reversion).

  1. Go to the current version of the page you want to change
  2. Click on the “history” tab.
  3. Choose the radio buttons next to the current page and the page in history that contains the pieces you want to add back.
  4. Click on “compare”
  5. Copy the old text you want.
  6. Edit the current page and insert the missing text
