New page

==Why pages should be reverted==
===Spamming===
Spamming is quickly turning into the number one reason why pages should be reverted. Spamming is when a page is suddenly filled with advertising links. As of this writing, cacheopedia does not support advertised linking.
===Erroneous Information===
If the edit does nothing to enhance the page, or is 100% wrong information, a revert is justified.

==How to do it==
If you are in the [[Special:Recent changes|recent changes]] page, and see an edit, you can always hit the ''diff'' link to see what the changes were for that edit. If you happen to be a sysop of this wiki, there will be a revert link on the diff page. This is different from just doing a regular edit to remove the offending material.
