Editing Help:Reverting (section)

== What is Reverting? ==
* '''Reverting''' is a powerful tool available to us here on the Archive. A simple revert can undo all changes made to an article after a specific time in the past, resulting in a page that is identical to that previous version.
* An '''Undo''' is a special kind of revert that allows a user to get rid of a single edit sometime in the past; rather than getting rid of all recent edits, the Wiki software automatically generates a new version of the page without the edit that has been "undone." This new version of the page will retain all more recent edits, which makes it unnecessary to redo all recent useful edits.
* The '''Undo''' feature will, since it attempts to create a new version of the page without the edit in question, occasionally disrupt formatting. As such, '''undo''' should be used sparingly, and only when it will be genuinely useful.
