Rollback

(add requestview requests)

Sorry, please be aware that unregistered users cannot be granted permissions due to technical restrictions. Please create an account in order to request user account permissions.

Administrator notation templates

This template is used to answer requests for permissions, especially the rollback user right.

::{{subst:RFPR|option}} ~~~~

The second (unnamed) parameter is optional. It can be omitted or used to specify the admin when marking a request as already done or the number of edits when declining due to inexperience.

 Not done. Please see the notice at the top of this page. With only {{{X}}} edits to the mainspace, I don't think you have sufficient editing experience yet. Take a moment to check out what counter-vandalism is at WP:CVU, and if you decide you'd like to get involved, you can enroll at the Counter Vandalism Academy to learn more. ::{{subst:RFPR|exp|X}} ~~~~ ::{{subst:RFPR|moreedits|X}} ~~~~
 Not done. Please see the notice at the top of this page. I see you just also applied for Pending Changes Reviewer. Let's see how you get on with that first and then we'll take another look again when you've made a few more edits. ::{{subst:RFPR|rvw}} ~~~~ ::{{subst:RFPR|alsorequestedreviewer}} ~~~~
 Not done. Please see the notice at the top of this page. This is not what Rollback is for. Take a moment to read Wikipedia:Rollback and if that's what you would like to do, you can then check out the Counter Vandalism Unit to learn more. ::{{subst:RFPR|nrb}} ~~~~ ::{{subst:RFPR|notrollback}} ~~~~
Hello. I am Secondhand Work. I am a vandal-fighter on Wikipedia as well as an RC patroller. I have used Twinkle to combat vandalism. But, with rollback, I can use programs like igloo and STiki to further combat vandalism. Thank you. Secondhand Work (talk) 02:15, 1 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done. Please see the notice at the top of this page. With only 136 edits to mainspace, I don't think you have sufficient editing experience yet. Take a moment to check out what counter-vandalism is at WP:CVU and when you have made 200 or so edits you may wish to enroll at the Counter Vandalism Academy to learn more. only (talk) 12:52, 3 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I only occasionally stumble across the kind of multi-edit vandalism that would require rollback rights, but during my more than seven years as a Wikipedia editor, it certainly would have been a benefit from time to time. I can also assure I know pretty well when and when not to use this function. Axolotl Nr.733 (talk) 11:02, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Based on tenure and mainspace engagement. Please remember never to use the tool in situations such as at Deaths in 2014, where the edit summaries you provided were vital. Pedro :  Chat  11:14, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
I mostly tend to patrol RC and new pages (on and off, time permitting), and aim to cut back vandalism. Rollback would ease/speed up things for me, as the occasional strings of vandalism edits can take a lot of effort to remedy. The responsibilities associated with rollback rights are clearly understood, and I will only use the feature when there is no other, more sensible way to fix things. noisy jinx huh? 20:53, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I've used Twinkle for quite awhile and would like to try out other tools Kap 7 (talk) 04:27, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Much of my activity is Recent Changes patrolling. I have gained experience with Twinkle "rollback" but wish to use native rollback for more rapid removal of vandalism. I understand it is only for blatant vandalism. BethNaught (talk) 09:51, 9 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
