[WikiEN-l] A six-day roll-back poll?

[Ned Scott]

I strongly urge everyone to check out a new proposal for regarding the  
roll-back feature

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Non-administrator_rollback#Scripts_and_other_tools

"proposal originally made by Gracenotes

"Nearly everyone here has no objection to tools like Twinkle being  
broadly used, but many have objections to adding the [rollback] button  
to the user interface. So give autoconfirmed users the technical  
ability to rollback, an action which requires a unique token, but do  
not include the rollback button on diff, history, or user contribution  
pages (i.e., do not include it at all). In this case, rollback can  
only be accessed with a third-party tool like Twinkle, which everyone  
seems to agree is fine. The I/O speed and bandwidth issues are solved,  
and since custom summaries are possible with the rollback permission,  
there is no loss in the functionality of Twinkle (or other anti- 
vandalism tools)."
