I wish to have Rollback permissions to revert vandalism as I've been doing for at least a month with 500+ main space edits I wish to use like WP:HUGGLE and a lot more programs to help prevent vandalism. Valorrr (lets chat) 22:20, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I know this, and I believe I improved. Valorrr (lets chat) 22:21, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
 Question: Valorrr: I'd still like to see you get some more experience before granting you the rollback permission as it will allow you access to some fairly powerful automated tools, as you have indicated. I can see that you have gained some experience though. To show that you understand when you can use permissions to help in a related area that usually has a backlog I'd be happy to grant you the pending changes reviewer permission so that you can help review Special:PendingChanges. Would you be okay with that? Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 04:15, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I'm perfectly okay with that, do you want me to notify you when I come back for rollback? Valorrr (lets chat) 16:05, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Callanecc: Just notifying. Valorrr (lets chat) 16:05, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I have granted PCR per Callanecc's comment, since Callanecc has gone AWOL, and am marking this  Not done for the bot. Feel free to make a new request here, and ping Callanecc (which they may or may not see depending on their level of activity), when it's time. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:07, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I've been patrolling, creating, and monitoring articles on Wikipedia for months, but recently i've been able to be more active. I would like to request the rollback right - having the right would make my work patrolling Special:RecentChanges easier, as I wouldn't need to manually undo edits, but rather just be able to rollback edits directly. I use tools such as WP:RedWarn and WP:Twinkle, so having rollback rights would help me combat vandalism easier. Not to mention, I am aware of Wikipedia's core policies - such as WP:N, WP:NPOV, etc. As a newcomer myself, I am very well aware of WP:BITE and try to be as friendly and welcoming to new editors as possible.

{{not done}}. I've just granted you the Pending Changes Reviewer permission from your request there. Let's see how you get on with that first and then we'll take another look again when you've made a few more edits. Callanecc (talkcontribslogs) 04:08, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Understood. Thank you so much! WormEater13 (talkcontribs) 11:46, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Callanecc! I apologize if disturbing, but would I be able to ask for a re-review? Since you replied, i've made about ~300 more edits (60%), and have been able to review quite a few articles with PCR. I would love to utilize the rollback feature, especially since a lot of my contributions as of right now are towards combatting vandalism. WormEater13 (talkcontribs) 21:23, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I just want to inform that I mistakenly added all requests at once I am sorry I just want to apply for rollback rights so to prevent vandalism and disruptive edits, this will help me to gain a new experience so I can contribute my best.... Thanks! 👑 Jesus isGreat7 👑 | 📜 Royal Talk 15:00, 21 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done No experience in this area - please first spend some time (a few weeks to a month) doing recent changes patrol using non-rollback-based tools and only then request rollback. * Pppery * it has begun... 17:08, 24 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I feel like rollback rights will help me fight vandalism more effectively here on the English Wikipedia. I generally meet the guidelines on the top of this page (I've patrolled actively for the better part of a month now) and I believe it would help me more efficiently fight back against vandalism than being limited to Undo and base Twinkle. I try my best to correctly warn editors as well. Nahida haii 17:19, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Nahida I've liked how you've been patrolling so far after a review of your contributions and warnings, though your main space edits are a little on the low side. I'd probably be comfortable with starting you off with pending changes reviewer and you can return to apply for rollback in a few weeks/months once you've used PCR a bit to show your understanding of other important policies such as Copyrights. Does that sound fair? Any other admin can opine here if they think this isn't the best approach that I'm taking. Fathoms Below (talk) 00:52, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hi @Fathoms Below! I'm okay with PCR if that's the more comfortable option right now. I understand the lower edit count. Nahida 🌷 01:01, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Granted that permission, marking  Not done here for the bot. Fathoms Below (talk) 01:04, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I've been dabbling with antivandalism for a bit now. I think using rollback would be helpful for this. I already have it on another project (Commons) so I understand its usefulness. Thank you for your consideration. CutlassCiera 19:53, 22 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I request rollback rights primarily to get Huggle, AntiVandal, ORES and similar tools to fight and detect vandalism and revert unconstructive edits more easily. I currently have an edit count of 928 and have patrolled recent changes (mostly around January-February). RaschenTechner (talk) 11:58, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I’ve been patrolling and working on a lot of Pakistani BLP and other no-protection articles on MNAs, MPAs, and programs. Several IP vandals have made changes which I can’t undo. Particularly on the Sehat Sahulat Program, I need a rollback. Titan2456 (talk) 02:10, 25 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
