While going through suggested edits I saw one in which it appeared that someone had added random bits of code to someone's questionit appeared that someone had added random bits of code to someone's question. So I rejected it as a radical change.

Then I took a second look, and discovered that the original question contained the code, but it simply wasn't being displayed at all because it was within angle brackets <>, and the suggested edit fixed the problem.

First I looked around to see if there was an obvious way to go back and approve the edit. Finding nothing obvious, I edited the question and put the fixes back in myself.

Is there a better way to handle this situation?

I accidentally rejected a suggested edit that should have been approved. What do I do now?
