Help needed with reverting changeset

Posted by TimConze on 11 September 2014 in English.

Hi, I probably did a dumb mistake.

I had noticed that a bike-road was closed due to construction, with a small chance of being permanent. This has messed up navigation in the area, suggesting to drive through construction fences etc :)

As a “solution” I have removed the bit of road that is no longer accessible. :(

Since then I have read up a bit and understood that may have been wrong. Worse, this may have affected some longer-distance roads (Sverigeleden, a bike trail through all of Sweden).

How do I revert a changeset? http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/25360556

I did the edit in the standard browser editor, without selecting JOSM or potlatch or anything.

Can I please have help to resolve this? Either you revert it for me, or (better) tell me how to do it myself?

Sorry if I messed up as a newbie…

I have reverted the changeset using JOSM. You did the right thing as a newbie, to ask for help!

This tells you about the revert plugin in JOSM.

Best of luck!

Be careful if you ever use that plugin TimConze, things might get messy :)
