The page https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/HelpThing:New_pic was vandalised with spam on 14 July 2018, and apparently nobody has noticed until now.
That's sad enough, but even worse I can't figure out how to get back to the previous version.
Maybe there just isn't a previous version?

If you go to that wiki page and click on History in the left-hand column under This Page, it will show you the Revision History of the page. In this case, it appears this was a page that was created by the spammer themselves, so there's no previous version to revert to. I know anyone can edit a page, but I couldn't see any way for an ordinary LT user to delete a wiki page, though I didn't have time to explore very deeply.

We wouldn't want to delete that page in any case, it's the one linked to from the Help menu item on a picture page (e.g. https://www.librarything.com/pic/6767619).

Do you mean the picture guidelines:
https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/Contributing_photos_to_LibraryThing
That goes to this link.

No, I mean the link which is at the top right of every page. From a picture page like the one I linked to, it takes you to https://wiki.librarything.com/index.php/HelpThing:New_pic

Well, here's the author in question.
(Though I wouldn't have changed the page until a LT admin had seen it.)
