Is there a reason that reverting revisions isn't possible by non-admins? A wiki page in one of my groups has recently been heavily edited with an unnecessary bias and I'd like to easily revert it to the previous version.

There is link spam in this wiki page:

   https://groups.drupal.org/node/73063/revisions/view/883068/888288

I wasn't 100% sure if it was spam or not and contacted the person who made the edits. I haven't heard back.

It's been a few days and I'd like to revert the page instead of adding a new revision. How can I do that?

I reverted that wiki page. Spam generally gets addressed more quickly in separate issues.

For the original issue here, access to revert is complicated by our current cross-group posting functionality. Because any wiki page can be posted to multiple groups, no one groups really owns a page. So we'd have to give revert access to all group organizers, which is potentially anyone. And that seems very likely to result in revert wars over disagreements. That's a solvable problem, and maybe something that will get solved after the D7 upgrade, but it hasn't been a high priority in D6, partially because opening issues works okay.
