Star Wars Fanon:Requests for rollback rights

The Star Wars Fanon request for rollback rights process is a process on Star Wars Fanon where users have the ability to nominate, elect and appoint users to have rollback rights, which is the ability to revert any edit with the press of a button. A user with rollback rights is better able to revert vandalism or other bad faith contributions, especially from a single user.

Benefits
There are many benefits for having users with rollback rights. In Special:Logs/move, there is a revert button that can undo a page move instantly. There is also a revert button on image file histories that makes it easier to revert back to a former version rather than re-upload something. Users with these rights can also undo any edit he or she deems to be bad faith or good faith yet bad product. Users with these abilities can be considered more experienced with technical positions, and therefore more eligible to become administrators, although there is no policy that says an administrator must first have had rollback rights.

Vandalism, while not as frequent of a problem as it once was, does still take place and there should be users with the ability to revert it online at all times so the vandals, essentially, have no chance of success. Gaining experience in dealing with these problem users, as well as having increased security, will help the community in selecting administrative candidates as the community will have been able to see the candidates with rollback rights in action.

Voting
Users may vote for as many candidates as they wish, as candidates are not running against one another. Please provide valid opposition to a candidate or your vote may be stricken. All relevant matters of the voting policy and civility guidelines apply. Nominations will last for two weeks. Whichever option has the most amount of votes by the nomination's end will be the consensus.

 * 1) Trak is a trusted member of this community. She is one of the few people who actually spends her time on the computer combing through the plethora of articles on this wiki and fixing them up, many of which need a significant amount of clean up. She was once nominated for adminship but declined it, as she thinks she’d delete the whole wiki if she was given admin rights, but rollback rights would also be a great tool for her to have. When there are no other admins online, typically in the wee hours of the morning, odds are Trak will be on, still combing the random pages and keeping an eye on recent changes to make sure nothing happens. For example, when that recent image vandalism happened around April Fool’s Day, she was online in the early morning when it happened and could only do her part by undoing edits. Rollback rights would help greatly in situations like this. She also has rollback rights on Darthipedia and, more impressively, Wookieepedia, both of which have trusted her with these rights where she has done a great job with them. I wholeheartedly support Trak having rollback rights on SWF. - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 05:42, May 9, 2010 (UTC)
