Can you please configure the script to add the "sum" link next to every rollback link rather than just on the diff pages? --IRP☎01:33, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The article you created,Importance maybe deleted from Wikipedia.
There is an ongoing debate about whether your article should be deleted here:
The faster your respond, the better chance the article you created can be saved. This is because deletion debates only stay open for a few days, and the first comments are usually the most important.
There are several tools and other editors who can help you keep the page from being deleted forever:
If your page is deleted, you stillhave many options available. Good luck!travb (talk)22:08, 31 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Gracenotes,

There should be "sum" links inSpecial:RecentChanges now that rollback links are enabled there. Also, the default text for the summary field should be "[[WP:RBK|Reverted]] edits by [[Special:Contributions/$2|$2]] ([[User talk:$2|talk]]) to last version by $1; ". I understand that it will create such a summaryafter clicking "OK" (when the field is blank), however, the field should be prefilled with that textbefore users click OK so users can easily append the rollback reason after the default summary. If they do not want the summary to contain the default text, they can just blank the summary and write a custom one. --IRP☎15:08, 25 April 2009 (UTC), modified 15:09, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, so it was in fact added as a feature! Lots of things change when you're not in the loop :) To enable this, just add:
rollbackSummaryDefault="[[WP:RBK|Reverted]] edits by [[Special:Contributions/$2|$2]] ([[User talk:$2|talk]]) to last version by $1";
After the script inclusion. Then it will be the default summary.GracenotesT§16:30, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I forgot something. I forgot to request that it be enabled onSpecial:Watchlist. --IRP☎17:15, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Also, I think it would be better if the "rollbackSummaryDefault" was enabled by default (without the extra code in the monobook.js file) and should have an option todisable it just like the "rollbackLinksDisable" option. --IRP☎17:21, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Gracenotes. Followinga request for comment in May 2025, the community has decided to implement an activity requirement for theautopatrolled permission. Because your account has not edited in the last three years, the autopatrolled permission has been removed from your account. This action is purely procedural and does not affect your ability to create articles; if you return to actively creating articles, you may request that the permission be restored throughthe normal process. When returning, please consider taking some time to re-familiarize yourself with common practices and how they may have changed over the past few years if you wish to request the permission back. Thank you for all of your contributions to Wikipedia, and we hope to see you again soon. – –DreamRimmer Alt (talk)11:47, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
