Highly offtopic but weird that the wiki software doesn't have an option to 
undo all the changes that one user or one ip address made.

Wouldn't be too hard to implement IMHO, just keep a copy of all the stuff 
that was changed / deleted / added for an x number of days and build an 
option to automagically undo the changes.
