Please update the 'Manual reverting' section

Click the "edit this page" tab as you normally would to edit a page. (Above the edit box, you will see a warning similar to: "You are editing an old revision of this page. If you save it, any changes made since then will be removed.")

This doesn't happen ever since the new site layout where the edit button was moved to the top right. I don't see a warning box anywhere, and the text in the edit box is of the most recent version and not of the earlier version that I selected. I'd like to know how I'm supposed to manually revert something. tildetildetildetilde

A confirmation prompt for rollbacks

The confirmation prompt works inline, like the thanks confirmation.
You can activate the prompt in your preferences, if you want to.
On dewiki, you can deactivate it in your settings.

Hello, in case you want to add it to Help:Reverting#Rollback, here is some information about a feature from Wikimedia Germany’s Technical Wishes team, which was deployed yesterday:

There is a new option in your user preferences: If you want to, you can add a confirmation prompt to your rollback links. Users from German Wikipedia have asked for this, because quite a lot of people on dewiki accidentally click on the rollback link, e.g. when they want to thank someone. But there are also people in other wikis who use various methods to prevent themselves from accidentally rolling back.

The confirmation prompt works inline, like the thanks notification. It’s switched off by default, but you can turn it on individually if you want to (and have rollback rights). This is the default setting for all wikis except German Wikipedia, where the confirmation prompt will be activated as a default. On dewiki, users who want to rollback quickly can turn it off individually in their user settings.

Please see the project page for more information about this wish, its background and timeline. Feedback is always welcome on the central feedback page.

Why is it so hard to undo a thread archiving?

Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Edit_filter/False_positives/Reports&diff=945872374&oldid=945872333 Why isn't this a one-click operation exactly?--50.201.195.170 (talk) 21:07, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Whether or not you can undo an archiving in one click depends on if there have been edits after the archiving or not. If there have been, chances are you will have to do it manually. While "One-click archiver" can archive any thread in one click, no gadget exists to undo an archiving in a click. You have to go to the archive and remove the thread and then add it back to the talk page. Mgasparin (talk) 20:44, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
