With the wikipedia system used for the AGNULA wiki[1] this is one way to do 
it: 

1.) click "page history" on the corrupted page
2.) go to an old revision
3.) click "edit this page"
4.) without changing anything, click "save"

and you're done.

It is useful to inform other users about the rervert in the comment line, 
which is next to the "save" button, like this: 

"reverting from 13:50, 14 Aug 2004 (spammed)".

The time and date string can be copied from the revision info in the subtitle 
of the page. Current revisions don't carry this information. 


It's easy: Just go back  - and save again.
