Description Cobi 2007-11-17 21:42:07 UTC
There is consensus shown at the URL for this bug report that there is consensus to give w:en:User:ClueBot access to rollback.  This could be done by creating either a rollback group, or an AVBot group and assigning ClueBot to that group.
Comment 1 Aaron Schulz 2007-11-17 22:19:33 UTC
This should wait until the API branch stuff is merged. It should be using an API revert with a summary that can be send via url parameters. An 'apirollback' right for an 'AVbot' group sounds OK.

Still, it would require a steward or 'userrights' interface access unless some UI was made.

As far as I understand it, the index.php rollback is just a GET operation as well.  And ClueBot already has to interface with index.php for editing.

I believe Voice of All was refering to adding the user rights, not the actual process of rollback. It would be much more efficent from a development and time of stewards\sysadmins perspective to code rollback in your back - which would not be too difficult.

I see no consensus there.
Comment 5 Daniel Cannon (AmiDaniel) 2007-11-20 05:53:47 UTC
There does not appear to be a clear consensus on enwiki for enabling a rollback-only group nor for giving the bot rollback through any other means. Marking as INVALID until a consensus can be found.
