I don't see a revert option, but I'm not a wiki guru.

the way I usually revert is to goto the history and find the most recent version of the page without spam, click on it then on that page click edit and then save. The save will overwrite the current page.

Yes but mediawiki by default has a "undo" option on edits which makes things much easier, either this option has been removed in user settings or an old version is being used which does not have this feature.

Sorry for missing your post. It's possible that only mods can revert.

I'll make you a mod, if you're interested.

I am sorry to say I do not get the logic of this, only mods can revert yet an anonymous user can edit an old version which has the effect of a revert?

Sure why not. wiki username: Liam

By the way if anyone is wondering how I find spam posts so that you could also keep the spam from the wiki, I subscribe to the recent changes rss feed in a reader.

Ok, you're a sysop now. Click on any "diff" link on the recent changes page, then you should see a "rollback" link near the top-right of the page.

Non-admins can still revert edits by clicking on a "history" link for when the page was still good, clicking edit, then saving, but it's obviously more time consuming than just clicking "rollback".

Also, if you go through and check some diffs for spamminess, please click the "patrolled" link so that it will no longer show up with an exclamation mark on the recent changes page.

Thanks for the help!
