To remain consistent with the last time that I found some JS somewhere and brought it here to make our lives easier, I'm making a forum about this new one that I'm sure will go universally ignored.

Have you ever been faced with a vandal that hit so many pages that you had to hit rollback numerous times? Those days are gone with the new mass rollback gadget! It simply adds a dropdown on a user's contributions page that allows anybody with the rollback right to rollback all of said user's edits with just one-click. I know we've had this exact script before but it was depreciated and I didn't want to step on it so I just stole borrowed one off of Wikipedia.

You can enable this at the very bottom of the Gadgets tab on Special:Preferences. I must emphasise that this should be used only when absolutely necessary and not to outright replace rollbacking/undoing individual edits (hitting undo and adding an explanation for good faith edits is still the preferred norm). Think Special:Nuke but only for rollback. -- Lost Labyrinth • (t) • (c) • (a) 22:08, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Good stuff. I done a screenshot what shows idiots what it look like:

<sarcasm>Thanks! It will really help me out fighting vandals!</sarcasm> Anyway, I don't see the checkbox on Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-gadgets. Where is it? --stranger195 (talk • contribs • guestbook • ban a vandal) 04:47, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
