Wikitroid:Requests for rollback

The rollback feature allows intentionally nonconstructive contributions (vandalism) to be reverted more quickly and more efficiently than with other methods. User scripts have been written that mimic the functionality of rollback, but they merely hide details from the user, and are much less efficient, both in terms of bandwidth and time. Rollback links are displayed on page histories, user contributions pages, and diff pages.

Clicking on the link reverts to the previous edit not authored by the last editor. An automatic edit summary is provided and the edit is marked as minor. (An error message is returned if there is no last editor to which to revert).

Rollback is currently available to administrators and any user may request that an Bureaucrat add the right to their account. Rollback should be used to revert vandalism only, and not to be used to revert good faith edits or in content disputes. Rollback is not an honor or a sign of community trust.

Process
Any Bureaucrat is able and permitted to grant rollback to a user in good standing, who is known not to edit war.

Any editor in good standing may request the rollback feature on this page. To request rollback here, type  Your Username ~  under "Current requests", below. Please do not copy and paste from existing requests.

Any editor may comment on the requests.

Requesting removal of rollback
If a user is using the rollback tool in an inappropriate manner (e.g. to revert good faith edits, or to pursue an edit war), and will not respond to a polite request to desist, any Bureaucrat can be asked to remove rollback permission.

If you wish the rollback tool to be removed from your own account, just ask any Bureaucrat.

Bureaucrats
Bureaucrats should not grant rollback to editors with a history of edit warring. To grant rollback, go to Special:Userrights and add the rollback permission to the user's account. If there is misuse of the tool, it should be revoked by the same method.
