Then click 'View history' in the top right corner, and then look for your username and to the right of your name you will see a button that says 'Rollback 2 edits', you click the button and then the edits you made will be reverted.
Blocking
Before you jump in blocking a user, please be aware that, it is recommended to block yourself, or the Example user. You can also block another user as a test, but please make it less than 2 hours, and don't forget to unblock the user when you are done testing. To block a user, navigate to the user talk page or the userpage, and then on the left in the sidebar, you will see a button saying block user, or in the history page, next to a users name, you will see '(talk|contribs|block)' and you click block. Then you put in the length, click confirm block, then you have blocked the user, don't forget to unblock by clicking unblock, when you are done and making the reason, test done.
