In the context of the [[Help:Reverting#Three_revert_rule|English FembotWiki three revert rule]], a revert is defined more broadly as the undoing of another editor&#039;s work by returning &#039;&#039;any part of a page&#039;&#039; to an older version. <br /> <br /> ==How to revert==<br /> * Go to the page, click on &quot;history&quot; at the top (&quot;Page history&quot; in some skins), and click on the &#039;&#039;&#039;time and date&#039;&#039;&#039; of the earlier version to which you wish to revert. <br /> *When that page comes up, you&#039;ll see something like &quot;Revision as of 22:19 Aug 15, 2002&quot; below the title, with the username of the editor who saved that version.<br /> * Verify that you have selected the correct version, and click to edit the page, as you would normally.<br /> * You will get a warning, above the edit box, about editing an out-of-date revision.<br /> * Ignore the warning and save the page. Be sure to add the word &quot;revert&quot; and a brief explanation for the revert to the [[FembotWiki:edit summary|edit summary]]. Some editors abbreviate &quot;revert&quot; as &quot;rv&quot;. It is possible to wikilink the usernames associated with the versions you are reverting from and to. For example, an edit summary when reverting vandalism could be &lt;center&gt; &#039;&#039;rv edits by [[Special:Contributions/127.0.0.1|127.0.0.1]] to last version by [[User:Example|Example]]&#039;&#039;&lt;/center&gt; The clickable links are created by entering &#039;&#039;&#039;&lt;nowiki&gt;[[User:Username|Username]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&#039;&#039;&#039; (replacing &#039;&#039;Username&#039;&#039; with the real [[IP address]] or [[Help:Username|Username]], for logged-in users). So for the edit summary above, you would type exactly:&lt;p&gt;&lt;center&gt; &#039;&#039;&lt;nowiki&gt;rv edits by [[User:127.0.0.1|127.0.0.1]] to last version by [[User:Example|Example]]&lt;/nowiki&gt;&#039;&#039;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;/p&gt;<br /> <br /> [[Category:FembotWiki]]</div> Robotman
