I'm sorry to throw my newly found religious beliefs at you, but well, you
asked for it. WikiWikiWeb (http://c2.com/wiki) is the answer to all your
troubles. I mean it. Try it and enjoy. If you have a Zope server anyway,
use Zwiki, otherwise use any of the Python over RCS wikis (there are loads
of links from http://c2.com/wiki?WikiWikiClones)

I'm using a modified version of PikiPiki which, among other things, works
over RCS, so you can do a manual undo. I'm not near it right now, but it
is really clean code, so you should have no troubles changing this.
