If you feel this is so important, then I would advocate SmashWiki:Requests for rollback/Proposal1 instead. It's better written, more professional, like and such as. Additionally, if a list of all rollbackers must be given, I would suggest a link to [[Special:Listusers/rollback]] as opposed to an actual list of all the people. Additionally:

*"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)

'''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)
