'''Requests for rollback''' is the venue where users can file requests for access to the [[Project:Rollback|rollback]] user group. Users who are rollbacks have access to a tool called "rollback", which allows them to quickly revert vandalism and other non-constructive edits from pages in one click. Rollbacks also have the ability to mark edits as patrolled using the [[Project:Recent changes patrol|recent changes patrol]] extension. There is no maximum number of rollback users, so if you would like to obtain rollback rights, please do not hesitate to make a request.
 
This is the page where formal '''requests for rollback rights''' can be filed. Rollback rights enable normal users to use a [rollback] button to quickly revert vandalism from history pages. It is particularly useful on {{SITENAME}} when an admin is unavailable to take bigger action against vandals. There is no maximum number of rollback users, so if you would like to obtain rollback rights, please do not hesitate to make a request.

Ok, I have been here for a month already and I have at least 680 edits right now. I know how important it is for my contributions to make this wiki better and I know my understanding for reverting edits.

I have been on The Sims Wiki for nearly six months now. I have 301 contributions at the moment that are mostly expanding of pages for Sims from The Sims Pet Stories. I haven't been blocked before here on this wiki. I would like to be considered for the rollback position due to the increase in vandal accounts and sockpuppets. I will be on mostly everyday if offered the rank.

:I'm a bit hesitant on supporting this request. I've been looking at your edits for a few months now. Most of your edits are fairly minor, with not a lot of significant edits, and aren't the kind of quality edits I want to see from a rollback. I do see some anti-vandalism work in your contributions; however, I think [[Help:Reverting|manual reverting]] is sufficient for you at this time. I should also note that you formatted your request [[Special:Diff/841096|incorrectly]]; I expect rollbacks to have sufficient experience with editing to be able to file requests correctly the first time. Please continue to contribute to the wiki and gain more experience as you go before reapplying. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 01:27, October 9, 2018 (UTC)
 
::Agreed with k6ka. While you do seem to be a fairly good contributor, I'm a bit hesitant with supporting this request myself. I would consider reapplying in the future once you've gotten more experienced at editing. I would expect first time applicants to be able to format their requests correctly for the first time. Though I have seen multiple first time applicants fail to format their requests correctly on certain smaller wikis. So I can't hold that against you entirely. But for now I don't think you are ready for rollback rights just yet. ― <span style="font-family:'Constantia'; font-weight:bold; font-size:108%;">[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]</span> <span style="font-family:'Adobe Garamond Pro'; font-size:108%;">([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] | [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]])</span> 20:49, October 28, 2018 (UTC)
 
Okay, I'll try to see if I can do that and if so, I'll reapply in a few months. :)

I have learned how to properly do infoboxes on my user page. I am going to still keep my request for rollback rights.

I enjoy assisting wikis, including this one. I was actually undoing edits done by a vandal on a separate wiki just recently, and I thought that rollback would be a good privilege for me to have, especially on this wiki, the one I contribute the most to. On this wiki I have combated a vandal, although I did things which were wrong, I'll admit. However, I do contribute to this wiki a lot, and over the year and a half I've spent here, my knowledge of how to use Wikia/Fandom has grown. I have learnt all of what I believe I require, such as correctly lacing images in infoboxes. I also believe my edits to be of significant quality as well; I have fixed numerous pages, at least one of which I know for a fact wasn't marked as needing cleanup (I lurk around that category lots). Thus, I believe I am fit for Rollback Privileges.

:With only 164 edits at the time of writing and not even having the [[Project:Autopatrolled|autopatrolled]] permission, I unfortunately must {{oppose}} your request at this time, as you simply do not have enough experience for the rollback permission. Rollbacks have a much higher standard expected of them than most other editors, and not only is the quality of edits taken into account, but also competence as well. From what I am seeing, you do not need rollback at this time. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 14:20, November 27, 2018 (UTC)
 
::{{oppose}} - I understand that you may have been undoing edits by a vandal on another wiki recently. But what you do on other wikis doesn't generally affect what you do here. And although I must admit, my stance has been affected by user's actions on other wikis in the past, I do generally try to keep that to a minimum. Also while your experience isn't necessarily bad, I would like to see more experience gained before I can support you getting rollback rights. ― <span style="font-family:'Constantia'; font-weight:bold; font-size:108%;">[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]</span> <span style="font-family:'Adobe Garamond Pro'; font-size:108%;">([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] | [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]])</span> 01:16, November 28, 2018 (UTC)

::{{oppose}} K6ka pretty much hit all the points I'd want to make. Even if the global block was a misunderstanding, I'd still oppose your request. The bottom line for me is that you haven't been here long enough and you don't have very many edits under your belt. Rollback is a position of trust on The Sims Wiki and we don't know enough about you to put that amount of trust in you yet. - '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LiR</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 19:49, January 12, 2018 (UTC)

:I'm going to go ahead and '''support''' this application. You are a bit on the new side for an editor, but you show good potential, and I'm almost always in support of editors spreading their wings and learning new skills and gaining new experience. You have a history of using the undo tool effectively, and you've shown some history of anti-vandalism action. Ultimately, I think this balances out your lack of experience in other places. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LostInRiverview</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 21:52, May 16, 2018 (UTC)
::'''Medium support''' - While I agree that you are still a bit on the new side for an editor, I must admit that you do show good potential which can only be a plus. Also you have shown some anti-vandalism work which is beneficial as well. ― <span style="font-family:'Constantia'; font-weight:bold; font-size:108%;">[[User:C.Syde65|<font color="maroon">C.Syde</font>]]</span> <span style="font-family:'Adobe Garamond Pro'; font-size:108%;">([[User talk:C.Syde65|<font color="black">talk</font>]] | [[:Special:Contributions/C.Syde65|<font color="black">contribs</font>]])</span> 12:08, May 20, 2018 (UTC)
 
Rollback requests on The Sims Wiki are, in my opinion at least, a little more formal than the system on Wikipedia given how we have significantly fewer editors here (and significantly fewer incidents of vandalism) than on the English Wikipedia. That being said, rollback is not like granting adminship and it can easily be revoked in the event of abuse, as rollbackers cannot hide their edits from [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]]. Needless to say, rollback can still affect newer users if the tool is used inappropriately against them; as such, I generally expect to see some level of trust in users before I support a nomination for rollback here on The Sims Wiki. Personally, I prefer waiting at least six months for that to happen.
 
IsaiahScribblenauts is still very new here (only recently passed their two-month mark), and at least by my standards, still have somewhat of a novice understanding of wiki editing. That being said, they have picked up the ropes fairly quickly, and while they are not top-notch they have shown a willingness to learn and have gotten along well with other editors. They have helped with vandal fighting on the wiki and have done some work with content creation, particularly in our TS4 articles which are lacking and in need of attention. They aren't ready for content moderator—not by a long shot—but they show potential, and even if they do not get content moderatorship or adminship, they are still the type of editor that the community values—and so desperately needs.
 
With that being said, I am in {{support}} of this request. The user has demonstrated sufficient trust for me to believe that they will not intentionally abuse the rollback tool, and I am confident that they will be open to suggestions and advice should they ever make a mistake. —[[User:K6ka|'''<span style="color:#0040FF">k6ka</span>''']] <span title="Canadian!" style="color:red">🍁</span> ([[User talk:K6ka|<span style="color:#0080FF">Talk</span>]] · [[Special:Contributions/K6ka|<span style="color:#0B4C5F">Contributions</span>]]) 01:59, May 28, 2018 (UTC)

I would like to nominate AireDaleDogz for rollback rights. They have been on the wiki for a few years now and have a long history of good edits. Most relevant to this discussion, however, is their strong record of anti-vandalism action. I think this user would benefit greatly by having access to the rollback tool, as would The Sims Wiki as a whole. -- '''[[User:LostInRiverview|<span style="color:navy;">LostInRiverview</span>]]<sup> [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">talk</font>]] · [[User_blog:LostInRiverview|<font color="green">blog</font>]] · [[Special:Contributions/LostInRiverview|<font color="green">contribs</font>]]</sup>''' 18:08, July 10, 2018 (UTC)

::'''Support -''' I haven't got much to say here, partly because I don't believe that I've had much contact with the candidate in question.
