Rollbacks are often needed quickly, and there were several requests to raise the limit. Since rollback is (almost?) never granted automatically, I'd like to propose raising rollback limit to at least 50/60 (should be sufficent for humans, and for bots there is the bot group with noratelimit). However, I'd welcome raising to 100/60, which is the current value for rollbackers. Thoughts?

Currently, the default rollback limit is 100/60:
'rollback' => [ 'user' => [ 10, 60 ], // was [ 5, 60 ], -- brion 2008-05-15 'newbie' => [ 5, 120 ], // practicality has won out over paranoia on enwiki, raising from 20 to 100 -- TS 2008-05-21 'rollbacker' => [ 100, 60 ], ],
However, I note that for T228649, the group was named rollback as opposed to rollbacker - perhaps these should just be standardized across sites?
For rollbackers. If you have rollback permissions, but are not in rollbacker group (either because it's called rollback, or because it's patroller group), you'd be limited to 10/60.

Doesn't seem to be true. rollback = permission, patroller = group name. I don't see any rollback group at any wiki, if you do, please create a task for it and/or upload a patch.
Yes, that is what I meant

Ah, apologies, I misread the commit. Perhaps rollbacker and patroller should both be set to 100/60? But there are other (non-admin) groups with rollback that could have this raised - enwikibook's reviewer group also has rollback rights
Currently, the default rate limit for wikimedia foundation wikis for rollback (for groups not named rollbacker) is 'user' => [ 10, 60 ], // was [ 5, 60 ], -- brion 2008-05-15
Are there any wikis where rollback is given to users that cannot be trusted with [ 50, 60 ] or even [ 100, 60 ]? As far as I can tell rollback is only given to trusted users, but I'm not familiar with the individual practices of all wikis
