Editing Help:Editing pages (section)

== Reverting edits ==
There are times when you may need to reverse a set of edits and restore a page to a previous version.  Examples include:
* You just made a major mistake with your last edit and don't know how else to fix it.
* You notice that someone has vandalized a page and you want to clean up the vandalism.

Note, however, that you should be cautious about reverting any edits made in good faith by another editor.  An explanation must be provided if you revert another editor's work (in the edit summary or on the talk page).  Reverting can lead to edit wars instead of constructive improvements to LifeWiki.

The wiki automatically keeps a record of all changes that have been made to every article.  Therefore, it is easy to access any previous version of the page.  To restore an article to its previous state:
# Click on the "history" tab at the top of the article.
# Identify the version you would like to use, and click on its date/time information.  This will open that version of the page in your browser.
# Click on the "edit" tab that appears on that version of the page.  Note that a red box appears at the top of the edit page to warn you that you are editing an out of date version of the page.
# Provide a reason for this change in the edit summary.
# Click "Save page".
