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. {{clear}}

== "to everyone's satisfaction" ==

Unfortunately not. I accepted mine for a reason- you should have expected that accepting the original with the addition of my text would not pass favorably, not in the least of which because there is contradictory information.

*"This is to be used only for the reversion of edits that are blatantly unproductive"- this line is, frankly, wrong. Rollback is to be used only in the case of vandalism- otherwise, it is a violation of [[SW:AGF]] and [[SW:YAV]] to simply revert an edit that may or may not have been intended positively without some sort of explanation as to why the revert was performed. (Do also note that this contradicts several other lines in the policy.) Rollback is a tool for reverting vandalism, not a "get-out-of-explaining-free" card. Stop being lazy and explain your reverts pls. This line needs to be removed or changed to "This is to be used only for the reversion of vandalism." Not paraphrased, not with any added ambiguity, verbatim.
*This is not a promotion. In fact, sysop/bcrat appointments shouldn't even be considered a promotion. This is a pretty blatant contradiction of [[SW:YAV]]. When you start to say that rollback/sysop/bcrat status is a promotion, or a step above a regular user, you create an inferiority complex. Not only will some of these "regular users" feel less likely to contradict their "betters", they become less likely to contribute at all. Who wants to contribute in a place where they think they're not as good as the other people? Are the people who failed their RfR's somehow less valuable than those who passed? No. As has been pointed out, rollback should be given more on a "this user reverts frequently" than a "this user is active" basis. As such, I could make 9001 mainspace contribs without a single revert, be denied rollback, and someone who has only made 100 contribs (75% reverts) can pass. (Note: This is not to say that contributing to mainspace deserves any special reward or makes me somehow better than other users, because it doesn't. Kthx.) Therefore, any mention of promotions or any text that implies such needs to be edited/removed. --<span style="font-family:vivaldi; font-size:12pt">[[User:Shadowcrest|<span style="color:#4682b4">Shadow</span>]][[User talk:Shadowcrest|<span style="color:#4682b4;">crest</span>]]</span> 00:11, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

-: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)
