Oh hi, missed this wiki-related question for a little while.

Page protection is a possibility but it will make it so that only sysops
can edit the page. Currently there are three sysops: me, ricky, and
mmcgrath. Not exactly viable for when you want to change something.

The history tab at the top of the document allows you to see the changes
to the page. Click on the timestamp for a specific revision to review
that; to revert to that revision, hit 'edit' at the top of the page
after clicking the timestamp link, then 'save'. Seeing a warning about
an out-of-date revision is correct.

If this issue escalates please let me know by posting to
fedora-wiki at lists.fedoraproject.org [1], the Fedora wiki ticketing
system [2], or contacting me personally (less preferable). I've often
had people editing my page because they thought it was theirs for some
reason; I just dumped the data at that point into their actual user page
and posted a message to their user talk page.
