Why is it so hard to undo a thread archiving?

Example: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Edit_filter/False_positives/Reports&diff=945872374&oldid=945872333 Why isn't this a one-click operation exactly?--50.201.195.170 (talk) 21:07, 18 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Whether or not you can undo an archiving in one click depends on if there have been edits after the archiving or not. If there have been, chances are you will have to do it manually. While "One-click archiver" can archive any thread in one click, no gadget exists to undo an archiving in a click. You have to go to the archive and remove the thread and then add it back to the talk page. Mgasparin (talk) 20:44, 8 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Why is it so hard to undo a thread archiving, 50.201.195.170? Because it is a relatively rare need. In other words, having to work a bit is deemed acceptable since it does not happen very often. CapnZapp (talk) 08:30, 2 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I can't revert images!

Why can't I revert images? Someone has vandalized a file and it has been like this for 7 days! I don't know how! I'm supposed to have a revert feature since I am a logged in user, but why don't I have one? Please! Codenamememphis (talk) 13:15, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Codenamememphis: What image? Dan Bloch (talk) 17:13, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Undo in mobile

@Danbloch: from this revert: This doesn't appear to be true, or at least I was unable perform an undo following these instructions. Please provide more information or discuss on talk page. FYI, any mobile user knows this, I am also a mobile user, and my first way to use the undo tool is to switch from mobile mode to advance mobile, until I discover the desktop view at the bottom of any page. The desktop view has access to all tools, permissions (rollback, PCR), and any scripts. And why did you say I was wrong? I am using Undo, Rollback, Twinkle, RedWarn, via desktop view. —Ctrlwiki (talk) 00:07, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Ctrlwiki: I wasn't familiar with the desktop view link and thought this was a reference to the browser's desktop site setting. Thanks for adding the Wikilink to clarify. Nice trick! Dan Bloch (talk) 02:18, 5 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
