Rollback

Hi, I've had several months of experience patrolling recent changes and clearing vandalism. In addition, I often revert sockpuppet edits. I therefore humbly request for the rollback right so that reverting obvious vandalism and sockpuppet/LTA edits (such as by using mass rollback) would be easier. I've read through WP:Rollback thoroughly as well. I understand that for the usual rollback, I need to try to use it with caution as it performs reverts in just one click/tap. Thank you. ~SG5536B 01:56, 27 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’m a very active recent changes patroller, very comfortable identifying vandalism and using WP:TW to revert, warn, and report vandals. I’m careful to avoid using immediate revert unless the edit is obviously vandalism. Rollback would allow me to more efficiently fight very active vandals before an administrator is able to block them. I would still use WP:TW in most cases, for routine recent changes patrol.

I’ve been using Twinkle to revert vandalism from recent changes and warn users for a while now. I’ve been doing this for about two years, with some breaks because of school and life, but I’ve stayed consistent overall. I know what counts as vandalism and what doesn’t, and I always try to assume good faith. I’d really appreciate rollback to help make reverting quicker and save time. I can be trusted with the tool and use it properly. Thank you, ItsCheck (talk) 01:05, 29 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi I am requesting rights to use the rollback feature as finding vandalism has actually been a very cool thing for me. I am requesting to be able so I don't have to undo multiple edits by spam-vandals, as I feel like it makes me kind of a spammer when I do this, and doing it all at once would be a great thing. I will admit that I had absolutely no idea that anyone could post warnings on talk pages, I thought that only admins and other experienced members who are given rights could do so. I just want to feel like less of a spammer when reverted edits, so I am requesting this rollback feature. Thanks, MakaylaHippo1998 MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 05:55, 30 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
