Hi I am requesting rights to use the rollback feature as finding vandalism has actually been a very cool thing for me. I am requesting to be able so I don't have to undo multiple edits by spam-vandals, as I feel like it makes me kind of a spammer when I do this, and doing it all at once would be a great thing. I will admit that I had absolutely no idea that anyone could post warnings on talk pages, I thought that only admins and other experienced members who are given rights could do so. I just want to feel like less of a spammer when reverted edits, so I am requesting this rollback feature. Thanks, MakaylaHippo1998 MakaylaHippo1998 (talk) 05:55, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I've been RC Patrolling for a few years now (more consistently recently, but intermittently before that), and I think counter-vandalism work has been the bulk of all the edits I've ever made on Wikipedia. I hadn't bothered to request Rollbacker before this as I've been getting on quite well with Twinkle for a long while now so I didn't really see the point. However, more recently, as I've spent longer and more regular periods of time reverting larger quantities of edits, I've been getting a bit frustrated with some of the slowdowns with Twinkle. I am requesting Rollbacker as I've heard it's a lot faster and smoother than Twinkle, and I am also interested in trying out some of the rollbacker tools (e.g. Huggle) to see if they work well for me and if I can use them to combat vandalism more effectively. Thanks! SI09 (talk) 18:34, 6 July 2025 (UTC) SI09 (talk) 18:34, 6 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I am a CVU on the German Wikipedia and I am becoming more involved into fighting X-Wiki vandalism. On dewp I am Sichter (Rollback&Review) and temporary-account-viewer. Since my intentions are to fight global vandalism, I will not use the user right locally until I have studied Help:Reverting and Wikipedia:Rollback. NDG (talk) 07:49, 8 July 2025 (UTC)

Not done for now. We would generally like to see at least a few hundred mainspace edits, or enough to show a solid track record of good counter-vandalism (on enwiki). Having rollback on another wiki is neat, but it doesn't affect our standards. Feel free to reapply when you meet the criteria at the top of the page. Thanks, Giraffer (talk) 11:59, 10 July 2025 (UTC)
- Hello, good day! I created an account on the English Wikipedia 21 days ago and I am an active contributor! Can you give me "Rollbackers" status? Thanks! (I love yourwiki (talk) 03:56, 11 July 2025 (UTC))
- @Giraffer check on this History[1]. I respect your standards. Do you see any issues or signs of lack of experience? NDG (talk) 11:44, 11 July 2025 (UTC)

Hi, I have been editing Wikipedia for the last five years and have made more than 1100 edits on the mainspace, primarily improving articles in adherence to the Manual Style. Most recently, I have encountered a lot of vandalism incidents that I have tackled through manual reverts because the edits have been made in quick succession by different users with a conflict of interest. Often, these edits are created by new users across multiple IPs, making it further difficult for an editor like me to restore the last good version of a page. I have had to request protection measures for some pages where repeated vandalism is so prevalent that entire pages are being blanked and replaced with unconstructive edits. I'm requesting rollback rights so I can streamline my counter-vandalism process more effectively. Baberoothless (talk) 10:24, 11 July 2025 (UTC)
