Hi, Jan -

Thanks for replying! The method I'm describing is the one that people use to "revert" Wikipedia pages, and it never even occured to me WikiMedia might do something different.

I just took a look, and I can't find a button that says "rollback" on either the History screen or the Edit screen, though. :-(

My wiki gets a ton of spam... after the last attack I discovered I couldn't roll back to a historical edit. When I went to "diff" it showed the historical version, but when I activated the "edit" tab, it went back to the current version.

That's what the "edit" tab is supposed to do -- edits the current version.

Press the "Compare selected versions" button, then press the "[rollback]" link.
