Shame on me, there *is* a revert feature:
1. At the bottom of the page, under "Wiki Information" click "Show all Pages"
2. Click where it says "revisions" (each page will have a different number of revisions added).
3. Click the date of the revision that you want to revert back to.
4. You will see a button at the top that says "Revert 'Frontpage' to this revision." Hit that button and the whole page will go back to the way you had it before!
