wiki recover
Provide a rollback or revision control capability for the wiki. We just had an accidental deletion of an entire section and there's no backup? "Undo" did not.

This request is still queued up in the backlog. No new details are available at this time.

What an awful collaboration tool with no means to restore a trashed Wiki site. I hope MS takes its customers seriously because I can launch a ton of opensource resources that don't cost any more than disk space to support and get backups and versioning where Teams can't even handle that.
MS get with the program !

This has GOT to be a high priority. When a Wiki tab is deleted from Teams and goes directly to FOREVER DELETED is unacceptable.

2 years later and still nothing, the mht files in sharepoint even have version tracking, but restoring them does nothing....

It is concerning these basic features of a wiki are missing and remain missing 3 years after the original request.

Please hurry up in getting in the feature to rollback and have revision control for the wiki. This is a vital feature for information management.

@warren, @MS please at least provide a workable workaround for it.

We are adopting teams and were going to use the wiki for our branch knowledge base. However, the risk is too great with no recovery so we are now looking for alternative solutions. Recovery for an open system is critical if its to be useful for an organisation.

Using this https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Teams/Restore-a-deleted-wiki-in-Microsoft-Teams/m-p/195792 you can find the wiki hidden list in SharePoint on this you can turn versioning on so that you have versions to roll back to in future.
Have just done this because we lost the content of one of the sections.

Wiki in Teams = great idea!
No 'undo' = not even worth using. -

Yes, if you delete the page on accident there is no way to retrieve it. I am still working with our KP IT and sounds like we need to get it from offshore account.

[EDITED]
I have just got my Wiki corrupted after pasting the image from the wiki itself. It has pasted the whole content of Teams Windows application window including left menu and, all teams and channels list, and the whole Wiki content with corrupted images... Undo shortcut is not working and I will lose a half day or more to rearrange the wiki content.
The ability to restore the previous version of Wiki could save my time.
--------
I have finally successfully restored the previous (before corruption) version using Sharepoint.
But It would be nice to provide this functionality for non-admin users directly from Teams Application. -

I've been providing training for Microsoft Teams recently and I inform everyone to get rid of the WiKi tab, it's a far worse OneNote, Teams comes with it's own OneNote notebook so just use this to take notes. It's also far easier to search for information in Onenote than the WiKi
Add your already created OneNote Teams notebook to a tab in your team for easy access.

The ability to undo has only been around since about 1968, so I can understand why MS is having such a problem getting it included...
