I can't revert images!

Why can't I revert images? Someone has vandalized a file and it has been like this for 7 days! I don't know how! I'm supposed to have a revert feature since I am a logged in user, but why don't I have one? Please! Codenamememphis (talk) 13:15, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

@Codenamememphis: What image? Dan Bloch (talk) 17:13, 13 February 2022 (UTC)

Does it mean the said user vandalized an image in Wikimedia Commons (the image file itself)? or is it in Wikipedia (on how that image is placed within the article)? Chongkian (talk) 01:30, 7 December 2022 (UTC)

Undo in mobile

@Danbloch: from this revert: This doesn't appear to be true, or at least I was unable perform an undo following these instructions. Please provide more information or discuss on talk page. FYI, any mobile user knows this, I am also a mobile user, and my first way to use the undo tool is to switch from mobile mode to advance mobile, until I discover the desktop view at the bottom of any page. The desktop view has access to all tools, permissions (rollback, PCR), and any scripts. And why did you say I was wrong? I am using Undo, Rollback, Twinkle, RedWarn, via desktop view. —Ctrlwiki (talk) 00:07, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

@Ctrlwiki: I wasn't familiar with the desktop view link and thought this was a reference to the browser's desktop site setting. Thanks for adding the Wikilink to clarify. Nice trick! Dan Bloch (talk) 02:18, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

How to revert to the old wikipedia?

Recently wikipedia changed the display. It now looks like crap. How can I go back to the prior display type?

The german wikipedia still has the old one. 2A02:8388:1641:5500:8207:8CE:DF2:AB90 (talk) 17:21, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

You'll have to register an account and stay logged in. When logged in, there's a link "Switch to old look" near the top left of each page. -- John of Reading (talk) 17:42, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
