Reverting multiple edits at once on Wikipedia

mediawikiwikipedia

If I make a series of edits on Wikipedia that I decide to revert, is it possible to revert multiple edits at once?

The edits are spread across multiple articles.

Best Answer

Yes:

go to the history tab
select the range of revisions you want to revert
click Compare selected revisions
click the undo link on the second revision
make sure this the edit that you want to make and save the page

Can you merge IP edits to a username in Wikipedia

Username (and also IP) merging is technically possible but isn't done. It would require a highly manual effort by database admins. And yes it is hard to proof that this were your edits (how should they know if it was you?).

Wikipedia RSS – How to Get RSS Feeds for Articles Created

You can get the feed if you check out the New pages watch and filter for your name only.

Toolbox > Special Pages > Recent changes and logs > New pages
Enter your Wikipedia handle in the Username: field
Hit Go

You'll then get results showing all the newly created pages started by that username.

Grab the "Special:New pages" Atom feed that is created for that result output.

The URL for that will look like this:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:NewPages&feed=atom&hideliu=&hidepatrolled=&hidebots=&hideredirs=1&limit=50&namespace=0&username=USERNAME

Replace USERNAME in the above with yours.
