Regardless of the methods or means that are used to perform the actual reversions, Administrators may revoke the MediaWiki rollback user right, remove other tools, or impose a block in response to any editor who is <i>persistently</i> failing to provide needed explanations for their reverts. However, admins should normally notify or warn the editor sufficiently first, and allow the editor the time and opportunity to respond and explain their reversions before taking any action, as there may be justification of which the administrator is not aware (such as reversion of edits made by a banned user), and because the edits may have been explained in another location. </p><p>Similarly, editors who persistently engage in <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Edit_warring" title="Wikipedia:Edit warring">edit warring</a> – <em>especially</em> those who have a repeated history of doing so – may have their MediaWiki rollback permissions revoked as a precaution, regardless of the methods or means that were used to engage in the behavior. Additionally, administrators who persistently misuse MediaWiki rollback may theoretically have their administrator permissions revoked by the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Arbitration_Committee" title="Wikipedia:Arbitration Committee">Arbitration Committee</a>, solely in order to remove the rollback user rights from them.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Requesting_rollback_rights" data-mw-thread-id="h-Requesting_rollback_rights"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Requesting_rollback_rights"></span>Requesting rollback rights<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Requesting_rollback_rights"></span></h2></div> <p>To request MediaWiki rollback rights, ask at <b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_permissions/Rollback" title="Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Rollback">Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Rollback</a></b> or ask one of the administrators listed <a href="/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_administrators_willing_to_grant_rollback_requests" title="Category:Wikipedia administrators willing to grant rollback requests">here</a>.
