Changes: Narutopedia:Rollback

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, user contributions list, or the list of recent changes.

It is vitally important that any user with the rollback permission understands the purpose for which it was designed. Users should not request rollback if they do not understand its purpose, as misuse of the rollback power will result in the flag being removed until such a time as the administration decides the user is capable of using it properly. Rollback should be used:

If the edit is obvious spam or vandalism
To revert own edits in the user's userspace or accidental edits made by the user him/herself
To revert edits that were made by a banned user or
To revert widespread bad edits by a particular user or bot (in the unlikely circumstance the user is misguided or the bot is malfunctioning)

It is important to note that sysops already have rollback rights by default. Users with rollback rights are just users who are not necessarily a sysop but are trusted enough to remove vandalism. A list of rollback users can be found at: Special:Listusers/rollback.

On Narutopedia, rollback is a viral permission. Any user with rollback has the ability to give the rollback permission to another user, but they are unable to revoke the flag (for obvious reasons). If it's used to cause trouble rollback may be removed by any sysop or bureaucrat: it is advised that a fellow rollback leave a clear warning first before intervention is necessary by a sysop.

Notes

Over time, the wikia has expanded on the actual rights that the rollback flag has. This includes the ability to suppress redirects when moving images or articles, as well as being able to edit posts made by the community on the forums. However, users will not be granted rollback just so they can have the ability to edit user posts in the forums, as it is primarily a flag for users who revert vandalism edits in the mainspace of the wiki.
