ad hoc granting
PanSola decided to Be Bold and start giving out rollback, so if you suddenly find yourself in possession of new tool for no apparent reason, don't be surprised.

Also, I have arbitrarily decided that all sysops get rollback. Power trip ftw. (T/C) 06:24, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Just want to, for the sake of record, note that if any Bcrat hands out a rollback flag, especially to someone who didn't request for it, to inform them to read GW:ROLL. -User:PanSola (talk to the [[Image:follower of Lyssa.png]]) 18:45, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Just discovered rollback *is* actually more powerful than regular edit
In situations where the existing article already contains a link that the spam filter rejects, somebody vandalizes the article, and you try to revert it, a regular edit (or Undo) would get blocked by the spam filter, whereas a rollback would work. Personally, I think this type of "more powerful" is ok, but this discovery makes it no longer technically correct to say that the rollback doesn't do anything a regular user cannot do. -User:PanSola (talk to the ) 19:00, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

 * It's a wikia thing. Blocks certain external links.  &not; Wizårdbõÿ777  ( talk ) 22:02, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
