Revision as of 06:45, 10 January 2008
| Before using Rollback | |
|---|---|
|
Editors requesting Rollback should read Misplaced Pages:Rollback feature before using the tool. Misuse of the feature, even if unintentional or in good faith may give cause for it to be removed. Administrators: Please archive approved requests here, and denied requests here. |
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 automate the multi-step process, 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).
The rollback option will not be displayed for revisions on pages that you do not have permissions to edit. e.g. Only administrators can rollback edits to fully protected pages.
Rollback is currently available to administrators and any user may request that an administrator add the right to their account. Rollback should not be used in content disputes. Rollback is not an honor or a sign of community trust; it is merely a technical feature and getting it is no more momentous than installing Twinkle, which is capable of providing similar functionality.
Process
Any administrator is able and permitted to grant rollback to a user in good standing. Administrators in Category:Misplaced Pages administrators willing to grant rollback requests have indicated a specific openness to being approached directly for rollback, without using this page. You may particularly wish to consider approaching them if a request here has not received any attention at all for a while.
Any editor in good standing may request the rollback feature on this page. To request rollback here, type {{subst:rfr|Your Username|Short reason for wanting rollback}} ~~~~ under "Current requests", below. Please do not copy and paste from existing requests.
Any editor may comment on the requests.
Learn about how to use the rollback feature at Misplaced Pages:New admin school/Rollback. Read up on it at Misplaced Pages:Rollback feature.
Requesting removal of rollback
If an editor is using the rollback tool for edit warring, it is generally more productive to deal with the fact that he is edit warring, rather than with the precise fashion in which he is doing that. We have several dispute resolution mechanisms that deal with edit warring (e.g. WP:3RR, WP:RFC), and people who edit war with the rollback tool may have that tool revoked in addition to whatever other sanctions may be imposed (such as 3RR blocks).
If you wish the rollback tool to be removed from your own account, just ask any administrator.
Administrators
Administrators should not grant rollback to editors with a history of abusing the revert process. 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 may be revoked by the same method. Consider leaving a note on the user's talk page regarding proper usage of rollback, you may use {{subst:rfr/granted}} for this.
Once an administrator has granted rollback or decided to reject a request, they should add {{done}} or {{not done}} respectively. The request should then be archived: approved requests for this month to here, and for previous months to here; similarly, declined request for this month are sent to here, and for previous months, to here.
Current requests

Please note: Requests should be left for at least 15 minutes before the right is given, to allow for sufficient evaluation and (if required) discussion. (For reference, the current time is 21:39 UTC.) |

- Not to be a Dittohead, but would reduce my, albeit minuscule, load on the server during my vandal-watching, and hope to use this to be more efficient. Q 06:27, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- I have no opposition to granting this editor +rollbacker. Nakon 06:27, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- I support this user being given rollback. --Merovingian (T, C) 06:29, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

- I have been a responsible editor for a long time, and I frequently revert vandalism on the articles I watch. This seems like a useful little tool to have. Srleffler (talk) 06:41, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
