Hello, I'd like to get rollback rights to fight vandalism more effectively. While I don't patrol recent pages often, I do patrol new pages and short pages, where I frequently undo obvious vandalism (as seen in [1]). I'd like rollback to more easily undo edits, as well as access huggle and other tools. Yelps ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ critique me 08:24, 25 July 2025 (UTC)
Hello, I want to receive a rollback right because there are a lot of editors who add informations but not citing sources. Usually, they do not add unsourced informations at once, but they add them by multiple times. There are also edits violating MoS or Wikipedia policies. And I have struggled with reverting all of them one by one, so I decided to request a right for rollback. Thank you. Camilasdandelions (talk!) 03:56, 27 July 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I am requesting Rollback rights to help stop vandalism. I have made more than 2000 edits on Wikipedia since 2021. I understand how rollback works and will use it only when needed.
I am a budding copyeditor with a growing number of watched pages to police for vandalism. Unfortunately, some vandals use multiple revisions, making it tedious and time-consuming to fix without a rollback permission. Thank you for your considerations. OceanLoop (talk) 13:19, 29 July 2025 (UTC)

Not done for now. That linked discussion seems to indicate that this isn't something that'd get you past the current hurdle you're facing. There's an indication that you'd need override-antispoof on Meta instead of enwiki, so the avenues there would be to request override-antispoof be added to a local group on Meta, or apply for one of the existing groups on Meta which has override-antispoof (admin or bureaucrat). If that discussion ends with consensus that getting account creator on enwiki would help then I'm not fully opposed to it, but my current reading of the consensus is that it wouldn't help. stwalkerster (talk) 01:18, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
No, @Stwalkerster: I do not work meta requests at all, I may have a couple edits years ago at meta, I only work renames here at en. - FlightTime (open channel) 03:31, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
The discussion on metawiki suggests that override spoof has nothing to do with the issue you ran in to. If there is something we missed there, please re-open the discussion and provide more details so we can open a bug track if needed. — xaosfluxTalk 13:38, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
