Rollback is different to undo; it's a one-click undo which undoes everything back to the previous person who edited the page (so, for example, it undoes all 7 of Andy's edits and returns the page to the last one by Bob). Only problem is you can't give rollbacks an edit reason since they're done just by clicking the "rollback" text.

He must have changed it then, since I have the "Upload Multiple Files" link on the sidebar.

And I think I've done a rollback before.

If you had rollback rights it'd look like this:

Do you see those?

Then no. I thought it was the same as reverting to previous revisions. Functionally, wouldn't that be the same?

I could be wrong, but I believe rollback not only reverts an edit, but also deletes it from the page history. At least, that's what I remember it doing when I became an admin at the Clash of the Titans wiki and started rebuilding it.

No, that's what I thought it did, but it doesn't (which is lucky since I've hit it a few times by mistake while checking recent changes on my phone). Mainly it's just a convenience thing, you can revert all of a vandal's edits right from the recent changes list (or anywhere else) with one click rather than having to dig up the last diff, hit edit and then hit save.

No, that's Revision Delete. It's slightly different.

Yeah, and we don't have it. Only way for an admin to get rid of page revisions with our current software is to delete the entire page and then remake it.

I don't have it on a wiki I'm an admin on either; but then only certain staffers do there.

Alright, so after watching this topic for a while, it sounds like Funkychinaman and Commando552 are ideal candidates for main site admins. As for Zachmann, I would be OK with him getting the nomination if the rest of y'all feel the same way (though I saw some express a little apprehension). Zach, I will most definitely re-visit the matter in a few months if nothing else - you seem like admin material to me.

As for forum admins, how about Predator20 and Excalibur?
