I'd like to have this tool to help me revert vandalism. I often encounter vandalism as I am doing the New pages patrol. Vanjagenije (talk) 20:56, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanjagenije: (Non-administrator comment) Let's just be clear here - rollback doesn't do much in New Pages patrolling. Most pages have had only one contributor, so rollback does nothing because there's nothing to revert to. Twinkle is the best tool for New Pages patrolling. Though I see you are already an autopatrolled user and reviewer, so I assume you can be trusted with this tool. --k6ka (talk | contribs) 23:17, 14 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I understand that. But, while doing new pages patrol, I often check other contributions of the page author (especial if it is speedy deletion candidate). And I often find out that the author vandalized other pages. Vanjagenije (talk) 11:13, 15 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Done You seem to have the vandalism portion down, a few cautions on your talk page, but I don't see any complaints that should affect your receiving of the rollback flag. kelapstick^(bainuu) 15:11, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I just started Recent Changes patrolling a few days ago and I already felt the need to have rollback rights. Reverting Vandalism manually is hard work, especially if lots of vandalism come at once. And Twinkle sometimes does not appear. I've read through Wikipedia:Vandalism and Wikipedia:What vandalism is not and would want Rollback rights. I would also want rollback rights so that I could use Huggle and STiki. Thanks TheQ Editor (Talk) 19:46, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Done I have seen some of your posts at RFPP, checked your contributions, and see no compelling reason not to assign rollback. kelapstick^(bainuu) 21:20, 17 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I just submitted this request, but I don't see it on the page. Aside from working on beer-themed articles I've been patrolling the recent edits for vandalism and using Twinkle. To be honest, when I view "diff" it gives me the option of rollback to previous versions. But I don't see my username listed in Rollback groups, nor it is listed on my Pref page. But rollback is handy for pages under sustained attack, such as when I spent time keeping an eye on Moms Demand Action yesterday. Prof. Mc (talk) 17:57, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment)Just FYI, twinkle gives you the three rollback links you are probably seeing.--Lixxx235 (talk) 19:07, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, OK. Thanks. Well,the ability to use WP:STiki would make it a lot easier. Prof. Mc (talk) 20:38, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I would like rollback so I can use Huggle and STiki to do countervandalism more quickly. I have read almost all Wikipedia policy and guideline pages, including but not limited to WP:VAND and WP:ROLLBACK, as well as having read WP:HUGGLE and WP:STIKI. Lixxx235 (talk) 19:00, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

 Done You are just under the recommended 200 edits to the mainspace before applying for rollback, but your anti-vandal history looks good. Be careful with Huggle and STiki, don't go too fast. Thanks for helping keep Wikipedia clean — MusikAnimal ^talk 19:13, 18 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a recent changes patroller. I patrol old-school although it is too cumbersome. I would like to use Huggle but it requires rollback. I know the difference between a good-faith edit and a bad-faith one. It's ok if I don't get rollback but it would be really useful to me. Minimalist (Let's talk.) 12:02, 19 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
