Editing Help:Reverting (section)

== When should I revert? ==
'''When to Revert:'''
* Reverting is a tool mainly used to fight vandalism (the intentional damaging or defacing of pages).
* You can revert your own edit if you realize that it is wrong (you should have noticed this in the preview, though). Be careful if some other editor has made changes in the interim, as a revert will discard those newer changes.

'''When not to Revert:'''
* If the change is something that can be improved by editing it (i.e. poor word choice, incorrect formatting), then reword it instead of reverting it.
* If you are not sure if a revert is appropriate, discuss it on the talk page before doing so.
* Do not revert a page simply because you disagree with an edit (be it inaccurate, biased, or poorly worded). '''Improve the edit, rather than reverting it.'''
* If you disagree with a revert, '''DO NOT REVERT THE ARTICLE AGAIN.''' Discuss the changes on the talk page instead.
