Swiki rollback status?

Chris Muller
Hi, what's the status of rolling back the Swiki?  I
noticed several of Magma pages are still showing
titles like "6 #8" do I need to roll these back myself
or will this disrupt someone doing an automated
rollback?

And, speaking of, what is the best way to fix this?  I
click on "History" and see the correct entry, is there
any way to just restore to that entry?  Or do I have
to select that entry and copy the text, then select
"Edit" and paste it and resave it..?

Thanks for help,
  Chris

It's somewhat easier if you don't touch the pages (especially if you
don't try to fix the broken links) since I have an automated script
which runs over the Swiki looking for spam signs and reverting those pages.

Yes, that's basically how it works. My script automates it, so I get the
whopping speed of 4-5 edits per minute...
However, it's not 100% stable, so I can let it run only when I'm at home
and can check its progress occasionally.

Cheers,

It's all fixed up now. Anything left over is either from earlier
defacing attacks or a sign that my search criteria were not perfect...
But if you find errors now, you should probably just fix them manually.

One advice: If link titles are messed up, don't edit the linking page
but the linked-to page. The page with the link will update correctly.
