[OSM-talk] Brainstorming: Simple Revert-Tools

[Pieren]

2009/9/2 Peter Körner <osm-lists at mazdermind.de>:

Like Frederik, I'm against voting for the same reasons. Revert should
be possible from the main site everywhere changesets are listed : from
the history tab on a bbox or the recent changes without bbox ([1]) or
from an individual contributor ([2]) edits. A new élink "revert" could
be added at the right side of every changeset line. One click might
report "succeed" or "conflict/failed, do it manually".
As a possible watchdog, the system could send automatically a message
to the author of the reverted changeset like "User:XXX reverted your
changeset 12345". In this way, you inform the person that his edit has
been reverted and this person may contact you back thus initiating the
discussion (if it is not pure vandalism). Edit war is still possible
but third parties should be involved only at this stage.
