Why isn't a rollback user group enabled on Wikipedia, and a [[Wikipedia:Requests for rollback]] page made, so that we can allow non-admins to get rollback access, as long as they aren't idiots?
It looks like it would just require this line in the settings to me... $wgGroupPermissions['rollback']['rollback'] = true;
We get a *lot* of vandalism. We should be doing everything we can to help users fight the vandals off.

There are many reasons why not at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_rollback and on the Wikien mailing list a few months ago at http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-June/thread.html#25366

Well, I used to do manual rollback (i.e. modifying the previous version and saving it) before becoming admin on it.wiki, it's just slightly longer but it works the same; sometimes even admins may prefer it, since that allows to put reason for rollbacking in the subject. Cruccone

I used to do that before I was an admins also. It took forever though. I'm on dial up.
