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 The Sims Wiki 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.
Qualifications
Users applying for or being nominated for rollback rights should be active or semi-active members of the wiki. Rollback candidates should have a strong history of positive contributions to the wiki, with an emphasis on the quality of those edits over the quantity of edits made. Candidates should have no recent history of blocks or negative contributions to the wiki.
Procedures
Add your name as a subheading under the section "Current Requests" and give a concise explanation (no more than several lines) as to why you require rollback rights. Please sign your posts.
Alternatively, another user may also nominate another eligible user for rollback rights. If this is the case, the applicant need only to say they accept the nomination.
Even if a nomination was discussed and agreed to on IRC or Chat, the applicant should accept the nomination on this page, for the benefit of those who were not on IRC or Chat at the time, and those who do not use IRC or Chat.
Other users may or may not have questions. There will be no section for questions if there are no questions. Voting on a rollback request is unnecessary.
The bureaucrats will consider your request and make a decision. Please do not get too disappointed if your request is declined. You can always try again later.
Hey sir/madam! I want to be a rollback because i'm against vandalism and i'm a good faith editor. I want rollback rights so i can undo bad edits from other users and/or unfaithful users. Maybe i dont have much experience so i understand if you decline my request.
Not done Sorry, but I personally don't think you're ready for the tool yet.
Edit count is not how we define editor experience. When determining who is an "experienced" editor versus an "inexperienced" editor, we examine their edits closely. Your activity on The Sims Wiki has been very lax and I don't see very many significant edits. We also look at how users are able to adapt to wikitext codes. I see that you were not able to format this request properly, which an experienced user wanting rollback should at least be able to do. Also, forgive me if it seems somewhat irrelevant but this concerns me a little. --I am k6kaTalk to me!See what I have done 22:26, May 17, 2015 (UTC)
Oppose - I personally don't think you're ready for it. K6ka has voiced his opinions, and I have to admit that while I think you are a good faith contributor, you don't seem to meet the requirements that I would like to see from a prospective roll-backer. -- C.Syde (talk | contribs) 07:20, May 18, 2015 (UTC)
I'm going to assume that k6ka closed this and just forgot to move it to closed but if that isn't the case I'll close this with the same things that have been said above. Either way, this request is now officially closed and I won't be giving any rights at this point in time. ―ฬђtalk11:48, May 18, 2015 (UTC)
Open to requests.
