Doesn't the wiki have RecentChanges (and perhaps email or rss to it)
so the more diligent wikignomes can see every edit and watch that

Reverts like that are supposed to be easy enough to combat vandalism
on their own in the classical wiki model. Robots of course tilt the
balance and then you'd need some kind of human authentication.
