Rollback with comment
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Author: jnothman

Description:
I have seen a number of instances where sysops have made rollbacks that should have been
commented to specify a reason for the rollback. Usually this button will be used for
reverting vandalism or testing, but sometimes there are borderline cases, such as
factual inaccuracies. Adding a comment in the edit summary of the rollback helps users
who later review the history, or users whose work was rolled back.

I would think any of:

  • An edit box next to the rollback button
  • A javascript popup on clicking "(w/c)" (with comment) next to rollback button
  • An edit box next to the rollback button which appears when "(w/c)" is clicked

would be appropriate
