I would like to request rollback rights to combat vandalism more efficiently. I am an experienced recent changes patroller and I understand that the rollback should be used mainly for clear cases of vandalism. I am committed to using this tool responsibly.

Hi NXcrypto, please undo Special:Diff/1265567139 and respond to Worldbruce's concern. It doesn't look like the worst kind of edit warring I've ever seen, but Worldbruce was concerned about it without being involved in the reverting, so you should probably take a moment to address their concerns instead of throwing them away. The edit summary of Special:Diff/1265564114 indicates that their primary concern is you not (yet?) using the article's talk page. If that's true, perhaps change it or announce that you are not longer interested and disengage from the conflict. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:13, 27 December 2024 (UTC)
Reverted and replied on both venues, talk page and article talk page. Thanks. Nxcrypto Message 00:18, 28 December 2024 (UTC)

I edit mostly in academic philosophy and closely adjacent areas. Twinkle is adequate for the vandalism that I encounter in articles on my watchlist. I read Misplaced Pages more broadly, however, and might be more active in assisting with general anti-vandalism efforts with the help of tools such as Huggle that make this easier to do, but which require rollback privileges to use (this would be the case especially if any of them make it easier to do in a responsible way on a tablet, rather than at the desktop I use for regular editing). I've been bitten as a newbie, and am alert lest I do this to anyone else. Misplaced Pages's coverage of the humanities is, to put it generously, uneven. On the few occasions I've encountered someone new with obvious subject-matter expertise who is making problematic, but good-faith edits, I have made a deliberate effort to welcome them, offer information, and protect them from more aggressive defenders of guidelines and policies (who might turn them off Misplaced Pages before they even have a chance to learn the basics, which are in some ways quite at odds with academic norms). This is just to say that I will, of course, use manual reverts with edit descriptions and talk pages, rather than rollback or anything requiring it, except in cases of blatant vandalism or persistent abuse by editors who disregard clear and polite notices of issues with their edits. Thank you for your consideration, Patrick (talk) 03:29, 3 January 2025 (UTC)

Patrick Welsh, thank you very much for requesting this permission, and for the calm, thoughtful request. For a permission that allows you to undo a series of edits with one click that is granted only on request because its overuse is so tempting, there's not a better application one could file. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:14, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

I have been patrolling the recent changes page for a long time now, and it's pretty much the only thing I do on here (other then occasional copyediting.) When I learned about rollback and its benefits, I thought that could be a huge help for me and patrolling against vandalism. I love patrolling, and this will make my life so much easier.

Hi there. I was an admin for years but lot my bit through inactivity. I do a fair bit of anti-vandalism work and regaining this right would save me a few clicks. John (talk) 13:08, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Of course! ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:18, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

Previously I held rollback before my departure as part of my anti-vandalism work, so hoping for this to be restored. Steven Crossin 18:11, 6 January 2025 (UTC)
