Lovely, thanks!
- Allow editing of historical versions: 16:40 <@grault> load the text of an earlier version into the edit buffer; save it as a new version when you hit save.
Do you still want this given the above, and if so why?
This would enable non-admins to revert changes rapidly and non-distructively to be tidied up - I'm assuming the above command is password-protected. It probably has general editorial value that I haven't thought of.
Actually a whole new approach might simply to have an approval queue of admin commands, so a deletion would appear to take place immediately when a non-admin selects it, but the actual deletion wouldn't happen until an admin approves it.
