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]

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'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]

 Not done. Please see the notice at the top of this page. With only 96 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 to articles you may wish to enroll at the Counter Vandalism Academy to learn more. — MusikAnimal ^talk 22:46, 20 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
