Description:
Currently there is no API equivalent to the UI's 'undo' function. Imitating it is non-trivial since, unlike rollback or simple reversion, the result of an undo is not always identical to a previous revision of the page.
Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement
Closing as WONTFIX.
Figuring out the new page text is a relatively simple operation on the contents of the revisions involved in the undo. It wouldn't be too hard for a bot to grab the revisions it needs, figure out what the text after undo would be and submit that.
