Theres no revert button , instead your meant to list the pages history select a previous revision, edit it and save it.
You can go into Recent Changes, click on the diff link, and rollback to the previous revision. Some spammers have figured this out and do multiple edits which make the rollback feature pointless, so you must edit+save an older version of the page to restore content.
A possible solution would be moderated edits ? if media wiki supports this .. Where nothing goes live until it's been approved by a moderator.
They would be nice. I've been cleaning up changes that others miss or get overwhelmed with... just hide patrolled edits in the RecentChanges page (may be sysop only?). That is how I have identified and resolved most of the spam leftovers that fall through the cracks. Kevin Bonner
