*"Has the user contributed to the mainspace? Or are they mostly editing the User, User talk and forum namespaces?" is frankly untrue. People may say this is taken into account... but it's not. Sorry.

*"Additionally, consider that rollback is considered a "stepping stone" towards a request for adminship. While rollback'r status is not required, it is considered a sign that one has already shown themself to be wiki-competent." I'd rather like to change this perception. Rollback has nothing to do with adminship. At all. Zero, zip, zilch, nada... you name it. Concensus is that rollback means basically nothing; this line contradicts that community view. {{clr}}

:Doesn't the Guild Wiki have something like this? In fact, I think most top gaming Wikis have a policy page for rollback. <span style="border:2px outset red;background-color:black;-moz-border-radius:1px">'''[[User:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:Blue;">Blue</span>]] [[User talk:Blue Ninjakoopa|<span style="color:blue">Ninjakoopa</span>]]'''</span> 23:32, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

== Require confirmation when performing a rollback ==
So after my fourth accidental rollback I'm wondering: I always have confirmation requirment enabled, but somtimes when I press "rollback" on recent changes I get stopped to require a confirmation, and sometimes I don't get stopped and rollback anyway. Does anyone know why this happens? I don't want people thinking I'm misusing the tool. <span style="font-family: Algerian">'''[[User:supatoad64|<span style="color:green;">Supα</span>]][[User talk:supatoad64|<span style="color:red;">Toαd</span><span style="color:blue;">64</span>]]'''</span> [[Image:001Toad.jpg|20px]] 23:37, November 5, 2019 (EST)
:Well, for me, I haven't got an accidental rollback yet I think. From my experience, rollback seems to always require confirmation on mobile if I have confirmation requirement on. I don't know the computer version tho.

::I'm on desktop so I guess that explains it. It's usually happens whenever a "rollback" link is directly above a "diff" link on recent changes, and someone makes an edit right as I'm clicking "diff". Personally I think all versions should always require confirmation. <span style="font-family: Algerian">'''[[User:supatoad64|<span style="color:green;">Supα</span>]][[User talk:supatoad64|<span style="color:red;">Toαd</span><span style="color:blue;">64</span>]]'''</span> [[Image:001Toad.jpg|20px]] 08:22, November 10, 2019 (EST)
'''No way''', the whole point of rollback is that it's supposed to be a quick way to deal with vandalism. Requiring confirmation can be counter-productive, especially when there are rapid-fire vandal attacks which happen from time to time. Accidentally clicking rollback really isn't that big a deal, just undo the rollback.

:What I meant was as a preferences option for desktop like on mobile, but I see your point though. <span style="font-family: Algerian">'''[[User:supatoad64|<span style="color:green;">Supα</span>]][[User talk:supatoad64|<span style="color:red;">Toαd</span><span style="color:blue;">64</span>]]'''</span> [[Image:001Toad.jpg|20px]] 08:44, November 11, 2019 (EST)
::Ok, the way you worded it made it seem as though you meant for requiring confirmation to be mandatory. ''[[User:Trainer Alex|<span style="color: blue;">'''Alex'''</span>]] the [[User talk:Trainer Alex|<span style="color: red;">'''Jigglypuff trainer'''</span>]]'' 12:21, November 11, 2019 (EST)
