Description:
Just like deleting, it would be nice if there is default edit summary when reverting article (editing old revision). The default edit summary would be "Revert to last version by old_version_username".
Notes:
+ old_revision_username : username who edit the old revision
+ This default edit summary can be made new system message for allowing localisation (Revert to last version by $1)

'last version' is probably not wise as it may not be the last one. :)
Popping in a specific date/time might be good though.

Good point. Another approach is to make date/time as variable which can be
supressed.
$1 : oldrevision_user_name
$2 : oldrevision_datetime

Won't this lead to misleading edit summaries when people edit an old revision
and change it but forget to change the summary?

Another alternatif:
+In diff view, add new link "Rollback to this version" to the old revision title.
"Revision as of 21:44, 2 Februariy 2006" [Rollback to this version]
The proposed new system message in #2 can be used by this action without
compromising comment #3

I'd state that that's a whole other kettle of fish.
Revisiting old bugs that I subscribed. I believe this bug can now be closed as resolved. Both revert, rollback, and restore now carry a default edit summary
