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.
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 The Sims Wiki, experienced users with a strong history of contributions and a history of anti-vandalism work may be granted rollback rights by requesting it at Requests for Rollback.
Rollback rights are a prerequisite for requesting adminship.
