Description: For wikis which prefer the convenience of no edit password, the difficulty in reversing the occasional vandal attack could be eased by having a feature which allows one to reverse all the changes on the site since a certain time.

In a vandal attack we expereinced, one vandal was going through many pages and defacing them for about 2 hours before someone spotted him. We then locked down the site with an edit password, but had to go through and individually revert each page.
