Yes, I would like to stop people being able to "revert" changes. I would like to have Author and Editor groups:
- Author can modify non locked pages + create new pages without viewing old
revisions
- Editor have Author rights + can modify locked pages + viewing old
revisions and then saving the page
Can I do that?
At best, you can make it difficult for Authors to revert (and I don't think there's any built-in way to do that), but you can never stop them completely, since they can always undo the changes manually as a normal edit. It's probably possible to write an extension that hides old revisions, but it would make life very difficult for Authors, since they won't be able to find out what has changed on a page, so won't be able to help maintain them.
