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. See Special:ListUsers/rollback for a member list.
Wiki policy
Rollback rights are not very strong and as such, becoming a rollback does not require an election. Any trusted user can be appointed by any administrator to be a rollback. Users having only rollback rights are not seen as staff members.
As trusted users, their edits need not be patrolled for vandalism. As such, these users also have the autopatrol right, which removes the alert mark (!) from pages they create or files they upload.
All thread moderators (all staff members by extension) are given this right in addition to their right, unless they already have the content-moderator right.
Previous rollbacks
Before being turned into a "trusted user" right and the existence of content moderator right, the following were elected as rollbacks, and as such treated as staff members:
Note: List of current rollbacks is not relevant since they are not considered staff members. Rollback rights are not supposed to expire either.
