===Rollback===
*'''Rollback''' is the ability to revert multiple edits by a single user with one click. Someone with the rollback ability is a "rollbacker." Rollbackers are able to, through either the [[Special:RecentChanges|Recent Changes]] or the history of a page, click "[rollback]" and automatically undo a series of edits. Let's say a vandal comes along and severely damages a page, publishing multiple negative edits on this page. In order to repair the damage, a user without rollback permissions would have to edit the page and manually restore it to its former state, ''or'' do one or more undos. A rollbacker can simply go to the history of the page in question and click "rollback." Voila!
''Awesome! What do I need to do in order to become a rollbacker?''<br>
*Unfortunately, following the introduction of the moderatorship, the rollbacker user group has been deprecated in favor of the moderator group following a discussion that can be found [[AVID:Requests_for_Comment/Discontinue_use_of_the_Rollbacker_role|here]].
===Moderatorship===
===Moderatorship===
The Moderator role allows users to help out the Admins and Bureaucrats by gaining slightly elevated powers to help keep the Wiki clean and free from vandals, without the power to enact major changes to the Wiki. It is also a first step and learning experience with the Wiki's staff team for users who wish to become Admin or Bureaucrat in the future.
