    Concept »

    What you are about to do is very dangerous, you are about to revert all changes to this wiki object to the selected submission!

    This means any changes that have happened after this submission will be undone *and* those submissions will be removed from the database.

    As a result if you accidentally revert something you don't mean to, we can't recover it! So tread carefully!
    I understand, revert to this submission.Oh no, back away from the danger (cancle)
