[Mediawiki-l] no rollback with only one author?!

[drmike]

Actually I'm having this problem now as well.  I have a page set up with my
internal notes. (We're converting a large text file of notes into a wiki)
Someone how page got blanked out.  As I was the only one who worked on 
the page
(since it was my notes), it won't allow me to roll it back to a previous
edition.  Had another Sysop try to do it as well but it won't let her either.

If this is a feature, it's not a very good one.  Original file was over a meg
and I had been cutting and pasting out of it.  Kind of screws things up for me
half way through the project.

Um, excuse the language on the page.  That was Jackie.
