The Sims Wiki:Rollback

See a list of users with rollback rights here.

Anyone can revert vandalism and bad-faith edits, but it takes a couple of clicks in the page history to get it done. Users with the "rollback" permission are able to undo bad edits with one click, by using the rollback link on diff pages and user contributions list. They are just like regular users with one extra button.

When used, rollback will undo the edits of the most recent user to edit a page, thus restoring what was on the page prior to that user's edits. Rollback will undo multiple edits by the same person if the edits were done consecutively. If multiple people have edited in bad faith, it may be necessary to manually roll the page back to an older version. Note that rollback cannot be used on a page that has been edited by only one user. Rollback does not prompt a user to confirm the action - the rollback occurs immediately once the button is clicked.

This tool should only be used for reverting edits that are clearly vandalism, and any possible good faith edits should be reverted with the undo button. This is done so that the user reverting can explain why they are reverting the edit, for the benefit of both the original editor and any other users looking through the article's history, using rollback suggests that the user made a blatant bad faith edit, hence no edit summary is needed.

On, experienced users with a strong history of contributions may be granted rollback rights by requesting it at Requests for Rollback; they may also be nominated for these rights by another user.

Rollback rights are a prerequisite for requesting adminship.
