How to go back in time to previous versions of a page?

The history of a page ('''top right "View history" link''') shows: 
* the list of changes that happen to that page
* when they happened and which user did them
* '''compare different edit''' 
** seeing what was changed between them
** see the page as it was in a given revision
** edit (or simply copy) the content of that given revision 

Say that in your most recent version(revision) you deleted something you need again. To recuse that content:
* go to "View history" page of the page you are working on
* on the left hand side select the revision where you still had your deleted content
* Click "Compare Selected Revisions"
* On the left column where says "Revision as of ..." click '''Edit'''
* Navigate the content and find the piece of content you are looking for
* Copy it
* Go back to your page by clicking the "Page"  icon

== A little history ==

The first wiki was create in 1995 by Ward Cunningham, and it was called Wiki Wiki Web (Wiki in Hawaii means quick!).

Wikis are about '''speed and easiness of writing and publishing on the Web'''. 

Also about '''collaboration'''. According to Ward Cunningham ‘People discovered that they can create something with other people, that they don't even know. But they come to trust and they make something that surprises them in terms of its value’.

Consequently wikis have been used extensively as environments for online collaboration. Examples of this are:
