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.
