Yes
 
====Is this an administrator job?====
 
No, anyone logged in can revert pages back to a former version
 
====How?====
 
=====Reverting back to a previous version:=====
 
# Click on history
 
# Choose the datetime you wish to revert to by clicking on that hyperlinked date.
 
# Verify that this is the correct version. Move forward and back with the previous/next buttons to get to the proper place.
 
# Click the edit tab. In the comment box note that this is a revision and then save (note: there will be a warning about saving an out of date page, go ahead and do this anyway).
 
 
 
=====Adding content from a previous version (partial revision)=====
 
For example, there is a way to splice in the old stuff Michael needs (without doing a full reversion). 
 
# Go to the current version of the page you want to change
 
# Click on the “history” tab.
 
# Choose the radio buttons next to the current page and the page in history that contains the pieces you want to add back.
 
# Click on “compare”
 
# Copy the old text you want.
 
# Edit the current page and insert the missing text
