The problem with the current rollback is that it

just

...

revert to the previous edit. We would rather to

revert

...

to the previous edit before the user.

As far as I know, that is what rollback does - reverting to the last edit of another user than the current one.

Yes. I just tested. This is true. I had always thought it reverted just to the last edit. That is good news.

...

However, one disagreement with loggued in people is that they can move pages. While anyone can revert edits made by a vandal, only sysops can fix a move back. That would be the only superior reason to

block

...

a user than I can see.

No, when a page is moved, the original title will become a redirect without history, so any registered user can move it back. Problems only arise when a page has been moved more than once (in that case one will have to undo all moves in reverse order rather than doing it at once), or when the redirecting page has been edited (in that case one does indeed need sysop powers to first delete the redirecting page).

I am astonished. I just tried this, and yes, you are right. I just did not know it was possible ! I thought as soon as a page A had been moved to B, it was necessary to delete A to move back to B !

That changes a lot of things. I am not sure french people know this.

Ok thanks Andr�

PS : for my first attempt, I had a software error I must say. The page A was indicated moved to B, it had the redirect, it had no more history but the redirect...but there was no page at B ...hum
