Users with rollback are not necessarily [[SW:ADMIN|administrators]]; however, administrators have access to rollback as well. The sole additional ability granted as rollback is the ability to quickly undo all consecutive edits to a page by the most recent editor. This is to be used '''''only''''' for the reversion of vandalism, or for reverting edits made that add players to notability sections of character pages without a description. It can also be used for mass-reverting of good-faith edits, but '''''only''''' if an explanation is left on the user's talk page either beforehand or afterwards. You do not need to confirm this action, so it is good for reverting mass vandalism, e.g. page blankings. The log in the page's history will read: | Users with rollback are not necessarily [[SW:ADMIN|administrators]]; however, administrators have access to rollback as well.
