Becoming a rollback[]

For you to become a rollback, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one. On larger Wikia, there will usually be a community page for requests, with a page name such as "Dogs and Cats Wiki:Requests for roll back edits". On a smaller wiki, you may simply ask on the community portal or Forum, or ask a bureaucrat directly on his or her talk page.

If there are no active bureaucrats, use the "Requests for roll back edits" page to nominate users to become admins or bureaucrats. Once a community decision has been reached (or if there is no active community to debate the decision), please leave a message at the wiki adoption requests page and Wikia Staff can provide the rights.

What can rollbacks not do?[]

Rollbacks should not use their rollback powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to rollback the vapid edits of an anonymous user. Rollback powers should be used to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. Ideally a rollback shouldn't be considered as "the admins' helper". The ideal rollback is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community.
