Rollback

Hello, I am requesting rollback permissions as I would like to utilize tools such as Huggle, which require this permission. I have been actively patrolling recent changes using a custom filter and have consistently notified users whose edits I have reverted. Thanks, – AllCatsAreGrey (talk) 20:00, 29 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I have been on wikipedia for a few years & I've made over 1600 edits on the english wikipedia, and I've made over 7700 edits on wikimedia commons. I have reverted many vandalizing edits on a varierty of articles, and I've left many notices of these reverts on their talk pages. I've also made a few pages, mostly redirects, but I've also created other articles, including List of Agriotes species, Choristostreptus, and 1854 in Mexico. Having rollback privileges would make it much more efficient for me when undoing vandalism. No matter the decision, thanks so much! -‪Fneskljvnl🪱 (Contributions, Talk) (stay silly forever) 02:38, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm a long-time user on Wikipedia (have experience with rollback rights on my home Wiki), recently I'm actively using support tools to prevent cross-wiki vandalism (including enwiki). I'd like to be granted rollback rights on enwiki to make it more convenient to rollback here. Thanks! Halley luv Filipino ❤ 10:56, 4 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reapplying. When I applied around 2 weeks ago I didn't have that many mainspace edits and was declined based on that (but given PCR) - [[1]]. I haven't used PCR that much, but I've made contributions elsewhere with CSD, AfC and files. I still believe Rollback will improve my ability to fight vandalism on Wikipedia. I'm fine with waiting longer though if I need a bit more experience elsewhere. Nahida 🌷 15:10, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've been fighting vandalism a lot, and would like to make the process more efficient in the case of obvious vandalism so that I will not need an edit summary to revert many disruptive edits by a single user. Faster than Thunder (talk | contributions) 15:34, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have used a similar feature with Twinkle, but am prompted to add an edit summary. "Vandalism" doesn't require a summary, but only affects the most recent revision. Faster than Thunder (talk | contributions) 15:35, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Effectively canvassing for your RfRollback in an ill-fated RfA nom that you then transcluded against policy does not speak well to your suitability. While that doesn't directly go to rollback-related policies, the main thing we worry about with rollback is people rushing into things without understanding what's going on, and this sure seems like that. -- Tamzin[cetacean needed] (they|xe|🤷) 07:58, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I was going to say much the same thing. FTT seems to be rushing things already; we don't need to enable them to go even faster. I'm also unimpressed with the lack of acknowledging recent errors, and worry that there will be a similar lack of concern if they roll something back with no edit summary incorrectly.

Hello admins, I’m requesting rollback rights so that I may contribute more efficiently to counter-vandalism work using Twinkle. Destinyokhiria (talk) 21:14, 6 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Too little recent anti-vandalism work. Spend some time patrolling vandalism with Twinkle first (Twinkle rollback doesn't require this permission despite the name), and only then request rollback. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:04, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. I would like to request for rollback rights to fight and detect the vandalism and revert unconstructive edits more easily. I am familier with the relevant policies related to vandalism and also with WP:Rollback. Thank You ! Fade258 (talk) 08:57, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello 🙏 My temporary rollback rights is expiring soon. I’ve used rollback right responsibly to revert vandalism. Would kindly like to request permanent rollback permission to continue this work. Thank you. Rahmatula786 (talk) 07:55, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I am request this right because lately, there has been a lot of vandalism during the evening to night hours. I could not revert all of it because I had to click the article, go to view history, and undo. With this, I could much more easily revert vandalism. Please note that my account is pretty new, but I had an account before with around 1 year experience; that account was when I lived in Chicago, the reason I cannot access the account is because I forgot the username and password (it was a created a while ago). Thank you for your consideration of this request. ExplorerofSpace (talk) 21:05, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do you administrators see this? ExplorerofSpace (talk) 02:22, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Permission requests appear to be currently backlogged. Sarsenethe/they•(talk) 13:18, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, administrators have seen this. I'm not confident enough to grant rollback myself so am letting another admin handle, but I assure you this request isn't lost. And it's only been 3 days - patience is a virtue. * Pppery * it has begun... 01:13, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Reason for requesting rollback rights. Have undone multiple vandalism attempts on K. Chandrashekar Rao and Revanth Reddy. Having the rollback permission will be helpful to quickly revert multiple edits. Skratata69 (talk) 17:17, 10 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to request rollback rights for my account in order to prevent pages from vandalism etc, Thanks! 👑 Jesus isGreat7 👑 | 📜 Royal Talk 17:48, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
