   Sorry, I misread the Wikipedia interface because I wasn't logged in
and only admins can truly revert edits. So it does have "revert" (to
cancel an edit) and "undo" (to perform the opposite edit of a given
edit), which get translated to "révoquer" and "défaire". I therefore
think "révoquer" is just as good as the others.
