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

[Thompson, Graeme (AELE)]

I think what would be the most intuitive way would be to have on the
history list a revert link next to the diff link and clicking this link
would restore the page to the state of that version.

This would behave as if the person clicking the link had edited the
page, creating a new entry in the history - thus avoiding vandalism.

The issue you are having is that "rollback" presumes it is being used as
a result of vandalism (usual experience on public wikis) so it rolls
back all the edits of the latest editor. Where there was just the one
editor therefore it would roll back all their edits.

I think what you are asking for is a configurable switch that makes
"rollback" just reverse the single most recent edit rather than the
edits of the last editor ...
