It is unclear to me how this works.

Does the "autorestore" actually replace the wiki.d version of the page with 
the wikirev.d/ version? If so, that means that any experiments authors have 
tried will be wiped out, and will not be visible in history.

I was hoping that there would be a facility which deleted all of the 
contents of the page and replaced it with a "this page is erased every x 
minutes" message. Authors could still see past experiments by using history.
