Reverting article edits on TDN

by Frogger · in Torque Developer Network · 07/01/2007 (3:02 pm) · 1 replies

Hey,

After seeing some people who don't know what they're doing messing up TDN articles, is it possible for us to have a revert button? Is anyone enforcing article changes? Thanks.

Cameron, I believe the ability to 'roll back' is at a moderators level ... however, you as an article editor could easily look at the article 'history' (top menu nav) and snag the edit code from a previous version and rewrite the current version to look like a previous version ... which, in the case of blatantly wrong modifications ... is a suggested thing to do ... not sure if anyone's moderating the articles ... but I believe the purpose of TDN was to more or less drive the community to thrive the community ... so, it's always a good deal if you can just save the moderator some time and take an extra step or two and fix the goof ...

If you notice any one particular person running rampant on TDN making really bad write ups or modifications however, I would bring that up in a forum post and wait for a moderator to pick it up and take it away ...


Granted, this is just my opinion on how to deal with the situation, not sure if there's any official route you can take or not.
