Revert/Delete Page Version
Using "Page History" to Revert/Delete
Note: This feature is available only to moderators, administrators, and the site creator.
After you log in and review the recent changes made to the site, you may find some problems. If additions or modifications to a page are troublesome or unnecessary, you can easily revert the page to what it was before these recent changes were made, or delete the changes entirely:
- Click on the "complete history" link in the "Last page update" area of the page.
- Compare the new page to what is looked like before and decide which former version you would like to revert it to.
- By clicking the "+" button next to a former page, it will give you the option, "Make Current Version".
Can I delete a version of the page?
Caution: Page versions should not be deleted without serious consideration.
The only situation where you should consider removing a page version is when the content of the page is unquestionably offensive or violates copyright laws.
- To delete a page version, navigate to the page, and click on the "complete history" link in the "Last page update" area of the page.
- Click on the "[>]" link to expand the history of the page version you plan to delete.
- Click on the "Delete This Version" button. The "Delete Version" dialog appears.
- Type in the reason you're deleting the page version, and then click the "Delete Version" button.
This is what happens after you delete a page version:
- The page version will remain visible to moderators who click on the "Page History" tab, but the title will be crossed-out.
- Any comments made by the moderator who removed the page version will be visible.

Once a version is deleted, why will it remain in the history where no content can be viewed? It a version is deleted why shouldn't it be permenately deleted? When I delete something I expect that all remenance will disappear... Come on now! Is there some bugs that wetpaint is trying to work out or what?
