Users with Rollback rights have the ability to quickly revert multiple edits of any user on any page in one single click of a button. This feature enables a user to remove spam and vandalism faster than typical users and editors of the wiki. Content moderators (and administrators by extension) have this permission by default.
Anyone can revert vandalism and bad-faith edits, but it takes a couple of clicks in the page history to get it done. This right allows a user to undo bad edits with one click by using the rollback link on diff pages, the user's contributions page, or the list of recent changes. The automatic edit summary for a rollback edit is (Reverted edits by X (talk) to last revision by Y). As the summary implies, a rollback undoes even multiple sequential edits all done by the last user in a page history.
Having this status causes the tag "Rollback" to appear next to user's username in their profile.
Rollback rights are not very strong and as such, becoming a Rollback does not require an election. An interested candidate can nominate themselves to any administrator or bureaucrat. If the latter is satisfied with the former's work, they can grant the Rollback right to the user immediately. Rollback rights can be used to identify prominent editors which can be promoted to Moderators in this wiki.
