Forum:Rollback privelages useless?

First of all, this isn't meant to offend anybody.

Anyway, I was scrolling through my watchlist and checking an edit on the Uprising page when I notice something. There's an undo feature, even though I don't have rolback rights. What it basically does is let you automatically revert the edit (it even shows it already did it for you!), but also lets you further edit it, such as if you see a spelling error. It also gives you access to the preview button and summary box. For a quick link, here's the rollback page.

So my conclusion is this: why is there a rollback feature if regular users can basically do the exact same thing? Respect them Grunts, Mouse Squeak to meh. See where I've eaten cheese. 21:43, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Rollback works differently. Undo opens the previous edit before the one to be undone and allows you to scroll down and click save (and change any content from that edit too). Rollback lets you click the one button and have all edits from that user on that page undone. This is an advantage if they have made more than the one edit. Also, you can open up their contributions if they are a known vandal, and by clicking rollback remove all of their edits from all pages. --  Manticore  TalkundefinedCSV 06:51, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, there's no need to be sorry. See Help:Rollback for more information. --  Manticore  TalkundefinedCSV 06:27, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
