Adding "revert" to main site could attract vandals (ok, let's just revert stuff) or experimentators (what does this button do?). I think better would be to have it as external tool that can either revert or prepare file for reverting (so that it would be loaded, checked and uploaded in JOSM) - reverting should be easy, but not that easy, that it would suffice to click one button to revert. > Maybe such a tool could block such revert-reverts (A revert's Bs > changeset, B reverts As revert) and only allow them to others, to avoid > revert-wars. Maybe this should only happen after two rounds? How do you (automatically) distinguish revert from ordinary edit (or "almost-revert" from ordinary edit)? I think you can't at least not reliably (you can't rely on the commit message, etc ...) So for avoiding revert war we need to use same mechanisms as for avioding any other unwanted edits - block users/IP's from editing, etc ...
