Hi Tigerlee,

I have added rollback rights to your account now. Users with the "rollback" tool can undo bad edits with one click, by using the rollback link on diff pages, user contributions list, or the list of recent changes. This will allow you to revert vandalism and bad-faith edits should it ever be necessary, though thankfully vandalism is not that common here.

But what it can also do is allow you to easily help users who are having difficulty editing, and I see that as being the main use of the tool here - helping new editors who are having difficulty - in particular in adding their information to pages such as the list of wiki players and the list of gifting/visiting preferences pages or the big database tables like the list of collection item locations. Sometimes people will make a small mistake when adding their info to the big tables here that inadvertently breaks the table, and may have a 3 or 4 attempts at fixing it (so multiple edits). The rollback tool will allow you to immediately jump to the previous version of the page before they started (automatically fixing the table without you having to find where it went wrong in such a long list), creating a clean slate again to then help them add their information.

This should not be a time consuming role, and really is just a tool to help you jump in and help out when you are already on the wiki anyway. So please don't worry about RL being hectic right now, the content mods and admins also have rollback so can help out when they are around, and the goal is to have a lot of people who can help so that no one person feels under pressure to spend a lot of time here.

Please let me know if you have any questions or problems.
