Environment: MediaWiki 1.12.0, Linux Redhat
My personal site got vandalized by hundreds of page changes. I was going to
try to undo them by hand but I kept getting:
"The edit could not be undone due to conflicting intermediate edits."
So I found information about doing automated "rollbacks"
here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Edit_-_Rollback
and here:
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Administrators#Rollback
But when I follow the process and pass "action=rollback" I get the following
error:
unknown_action: Unrecognised value for parameter 'action'
It seems the only actions I have available to me are:
login, logout, query, expandtemplates, parse, opensearch, feedwatchlist,
help, paraminfo
Is it that my version of MW doesn't have the rollback feature? Do I need to
upgrade to the recent version and do you know if that will enable me to
rollback to my original page?
Thanks for your help!

You must have rollback in the GUI if you're an administrator. The api
could not be supporting it, though.
You maybe inadvertedly removed it on LocalSettings?
There have been several vulnerabilities fixed, so upgrading is a good
idea, although unrelated to your problem.
