(Trying this again because one of my scripts broke the template)

I have been reverting vandalism and patrolling recent changes for over a month now. The last time my request was declined, I simply hadn't been patrolling for a month at that point, and @Fastily had no other objections. I have consistently warned all vandals I reverted and reported many to AIV. I believe I'm ready to have rollback now. Also note that I am a pending changes reviewer.

I see that you are failing to consistently warn editors when you revert their edits (e.g. 1, 2, 3). Why? It's important to leave a notification for every revert you make (especially when reverting good faith edits). Are you aware of tools such as Twinkle or Ultraviolet which make this extremely easy? -Fastily 23:53, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Fastily Diff by diff:
1. Completely forgot that there is a warning template for NOTFORUM. The last time I used that warning was all the way on Sept 13 [2] which is more than a month ago. Completely skipped my mind.
2. I have no explanation on this one; I probably just forgot.
3. No explanation either.
The earlier failures seem to be one off mistakes I made that happen to be close together, but the revert that happened just today is definitely very unfortunate for me not to warn. The sea of reverts I've made mostly have warnings other than the above, so I don't exactly know how I managed to forget to warn at all. I'll make sure this doesn't happen again.

Please ensure that you are always leaving warnings. I can't stress enough the importance of not biting the newcomers; if you find yourself reverting good faith edits, then it's especially important to notify the editor. If you don't want to leave a template warning, that's completely fine, but you do need to leave a talk page message explaining why you reverted the edit. Moving forward, could you please make a promise to leave warnings/notifications for every revert? -Fastily 21:04, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. I promise a warning/explanation for every revert I perform from now on. TheWikiToby (talk) 21:58, 19 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I've been RC patrolling for a month combined and have the needed mainspace edits.

I always warn users when reverting their edits, either with the default warning template or a custom one if the situation is unique.

I think I understand the policies here, as all of my reports to WP:AIV, WP:RPP and WP:UAA have resulted in action.

I would like Rollback because using more advanced tools like Huggle would make my RC patrolling easier.

Thanks for your time! MolecularPilot 08:51, 21 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
