Description

Author: anachronist

Description:
When viewing the most recent diff of a vandalized article on Wikipedia, clicking the "undo"
link returns the same vandalized version in the edit box, rather than the previous version.

The conversation at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Vandalism#Restoring_a_vandalised_article indicates
that this isn't an isolated problem.

Hypothesis: possibly interaction with user setting "show preview before edit box" but not
verified.

Version: unspecified

I believe this was fixed by Brion, but has yet to be taken live.

Yes, this is, in fact, a duplicate.

  • This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 8351 ***

If it is a duplicate, then the problem hasn't existed for over a week
and no one can have experienced it during the last week.

If somebody can reproduce this bug now, then I will reopen it. I am currently
unable to reproduce it in my own userspace
(http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User:Werdna/Sandbox&action=history).

I can't reproduce with a simple case under current trunk:

  1. Created "Victim" page with some text
  2. "Vandalised" the page from another machine
  3. Accessed the diff, clicked Undo

The undo works fine. I also can't reproduce this when enabling "show preview on
first edit" as the initial comment advised.

Huh. I wonder why, in spite of the searching I did here, why I didn't find those duplicates before reporing this issue.

I can't repeat it anymore either. Sorry for the trouble.
