Revision as of 06:58, 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.

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 20:38 UTC.) |
User:srleffler
- Srleffler (talk · contribs · deleted · count · AfD · logs · block log · lu · rfar · spi) | give rollback
- 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)
- I have no opposition to granting this editor +rollbacker. Nakon 06:43, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- None here either (and frankly, I think you'd make a good administrator at first glance). Ral315 (talk) 06:45, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Done --Merovingian (T, C) 06:45, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- I believe this editor would make a fine addition. Bstone (talk) 06:47, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
User:Wisdom89
- I've been rigorously combating vandalism and warning vandals (with the levelheadedness expected) for some time now. I systematically patrol new pages, user names, and recent changes, employing Twinkle and Vandalproof. I also consider myself to be a pretty decent editor. Wisdom89 (talk) 06:49, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- I have no opposition to granting this editor +rollbacker. Nakon 06:57, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
User:Allstarecho
- Allstarecho (talk · contribs · deleted · count · AfD · logs · block log · lu · rfar · spi) | give rollback
- As was told, here's a redo. Useful in recent changes/vandalism patrol, use similar with Twinkle now. -- ALLSTARecho 06:53, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Further: Indeed, I had an "edit war" block in November. This was at the Houston Nutt article and at the time speculation was all over the media that he was about to be named the new head football coach at the University of Mississippi. He was not however, officially the coach yet anons and newly registereds kept adding the info to everything from the lede to the infobox that he was in fact the new coach. This was unsourced and no media had officially reported it. I kept removing it and asking people not to add that info until it was official and sourced. I got the 3RR block. As for my most recent block, I was baited by User:Law Lord who left a comment on my talk page calling me a pederast. Rather than ignoring it and letting the admins handle it, I replied back. I said then that I know I was wrong but in that instant, he just might as well have called me a child molester and exactly how is one supposed to react? Humanly I'd imagine. I've since apologized to the admins involved. Other than that, my contribs and history speaks for itself. -- ALLSTARecho 06:51, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- {{not done}} again - block for edit warring a little over a month ago (nov 30th). Wait untill you can behave yourself for a few months and then reapply. Viridae 06:55, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- No, see User_talk:Allstarecho#Rollback for my thoughts and Bstone's request. John Reaves 06:56, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
User:Dookama
- Dookama (talk · contribs · deleted · count · AfD · logs · block log · lu · rfar · spi) | give rollback
- I don't really have an extensive history, but rollback seems like it would be helpful for the bit of vandalism I do catch while I'm on here. Dookama (talk) 06:51, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
