StrategyWiki:Requests for permissions/Rollback

Rollbackers on StrategyWiki are trusted users with the ability to quickly revert consecutive edits to a page by a single user. Such actions are visible in recent changes with an edit summary of "Reverted edits by Xxxxxxxx (Talk) to last version by Yyyyyyyy". This edit summary is generated automatically and cannot be changed. There is no confirmation once the rollback link is clicked, the reversion takes effect immediately.

An automated listing of all current rollbackers may be found here.

Rollback policy
Rollbackers on StrategyWiki should use common sense as to when recent edits to a page need to be rolled back. If the rollback might be disputed (since it is impossible to change the automatic summary), consider either using the normal "Undo" mechanism for reverting the change(s), or leave a message on the talk page of the user who you reverted explaining why. This is a very small percentage of reverts, however, so just use common sense and you'll be fine.

Abuse of the rollback tool will result in loss of rollback permissions.

Requesting rollback permissions
Unlike adminship, getting rollback permissions is much less formal of a process. Simply copy/paste the code below into the "Current requests" section. A StrategyWiki bureaucrat will then review your request and decide, at their own discretion, whether to grant the permissions or not. If you are a trusted StrategyWiki user who has been around for a while and has demonstrated an initiative to revert vandalism, your request will probably be successful.

I remember seeing a couple occasions of vandalism before, and it would be great if I could rollback those edits myself before reporting the vandal. Also, I make a fair number of edits (although not as much anymore since school's started again), so I guess the autopatrol would be useful to the admins out there.
