Rollback

I have been actively engaged in counter-vandalism and recent changes patrol on the English Wikipedia for a considerable period. I frequently use tools such as SWViewer and Twinkle to revert vandalism. Rollback rights would allow me to perform this work more efficiently. Fardin🛸 17:48, 23 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have been reverting vandalism for quite a while now, and since I don't have rollback, I use Twinkle to both revert and warn users. The ability to use WP:ANVDL and WP:HG will sure help. As of now, I am both extended confirmed and have the pending changes reviewer right. (I know it says I'm requesting PCR, but my PCR request didn't get archived.) The experience I have, especially with pesky vandals and sockpuppets like User:Office editorial, is decent.

As of the time I post this edit (including this edit), I have made 1,469 edits, have 634 mainspace edits, have 320 user talk edits, and have significantly expanded and created 3 articles. HwyNerd Mike (tokk) 05:09, 24 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Had rollback before but had it removed at my own request to take a wikibreak. I have since returned and would find rollback useful. Thanks, Three Sixty! (talk, edits) 12:55, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mostly finished CVUA (my test has been stuck being graded for a month or so) and actively doing counter vandalism. Huggle in read-only is pretty hard to use, and rollback would make using it much more effective. My CVUA course page is here. (Note: I renamed since doing the CVUA course.)

I spend a lot of time on recent changes, mostly using Twinkle because I find it's a much more efficient way of warning disruptive editors or vandals. With the filters I use I mostly encounter disruptive changes, unsourced BLP vios, and the like, but rollback would be helpful for the most obvious vandals. I always send editors I revert a warning, though I sometimes prefer integrated warning/welcome templates like {{welcome-unregistered-test}}. Though I occasionally make mistakes, I learn from them and tend not to repeat them, and I would only use rollback for the clear-cut cases. lp0 on fire () 21:11, 31 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I plan to use rollback rights to be able to quickly revert vandalism. I am bad at usernames (talk · contribs) 23:15, 1 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I believe that this tool will allow me to find and revert vandalism quicker. Assadzadeh (talk) 14:20, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Had requested a while back, but was told I needed some more experience. I believe since then I have obtained a better understanding of Wikipedia's guidelines, and this permission would be useful for me as I could use tools such as antivandal etc. I am aware of all guidelines and always warn users with reverts. I am also a pending changes reviewer and temporary account viewer and my edit history hopefully shows how I have put them to good use. Pr0m37h3u$ 15:34, 3 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have been active in AV'ing for around 2 months now. I've gained experience about guidelines, know what is and what isn't vandalism, when to revert, and when not to. I am requesting Rollback to use other tools like Huggle to make RC patrolling easier. Thanks for considering. x2step (lets talk 💌) 02:23, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have been reverting vandalism edits and monitoring recent changes via redwarn patrol for quite a while now. I have a track record of notifying editors when i revert their edits. Rollback rights would help me to do counter-vandalism tasks more efficiently. Scoria (talk) 03:08, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
