:I disagree with part of SZL's argument.  While it is important to have a decent amount of reverts, being an active vandal combater would suffice in being a rollback'r.  Contributions and activity with vandal combating is also important, and rollback does not always apply to vandalism combating.  What about adding delete tags to spam/joke pages?  You can't find a way to keep track of delete tags on pages that are spam and yet it is also a vital part of vandalism fighting.  Rollback should not be based '''only''' on reverts.

::Vandal Combater=Mostly Reverting Vandalism. And what does delete tags have to do with rollback? Rollback doesn't effect deletion. And anyways, rollback is mass reverting, so reverting is important to rollback, and having little to no reverts probably won't get you rollback. However, the popular "Active, not a vandal" thing applies to half of the community, so should half of the community run?[[Image:SZL.png|45px]][[User:SZL|'''<span style="color:lime">UP</span>]]/[[User talk:SZL|<span style="color:firebrick">T</span>]]''' 01:52, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

:::Probably, if it benefits the entire wiki.  Should one act in good faith, and is active, then why not have an extra hand when vandals do sprout up?  Also, putting delete tags alert admins which joke/spam/vandal pages needs to be removed, and it is part of vandal combating.  Just because they don't have many reverts does '''not''' mean that they do not assume good faith and help fighting vandalism.
