Hi,

What does everyone think of adding "revert" button on the main dw interface.

If an old revision is displayed and you are logged in with superuser permissions, a revert button will be displayed, clicking that button will carryout the revert. ie, the same as would normally occur if you
- edited the page
- saved the page
(- clicked yes at the page has changed prompt)

The button could be displayed next to the old revisions button, in which case it could be "Revert" or alongside the "This is an old revision of the document!" message, in which case it could, "[revert the page to this version]".

I think it's an excellent idea, but maybe we could go even further having a way to mark it as spam on the same time, maybe with autosubmitting it to chonqed.org. I once wrote a simple script to extract URLs and keywords from given wiki source text (regardles of the spammers knowlege of Dokuwiki syntax). Of course we should ask Manni if this is wanted.

About the button position: maybe it would be better placed in the revision history next to each entry with "revert to this revision"?

We should also think about the moderators group you suggested. I think this is really needed.
