Page move rollback always fails with the message "Cannot revert edit; last contributor is only author of this page." even when that is not the case. For example, [[Commons:User:Fred chessplayer]] moved [[Commons:Lennart Torstenson]] to [[Commons:Torstenson, Lennart]]. Even though that page was started by someone else, the move can't be rolled back.
Rollback is designed to undo a contributor's edits to a page, not to undo actions such as move. To undo a move, just move the page back to its old name; the software will allow such an action without complaining or needing administrator intervention.

Perhaps you're unaware, but a somewhat new feature of MediaWiki is page-move rollback. If you are an administrator at the Commons, then http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AContributions&offset=0&limit=50&target=Fred_chessplayer&namespace=0 contains "rollback" links next to the page move entries. These links don't work. Of course, it's possible to simply move a page back manually; the purpose of the rollback is to make that process faster.
You want the special move-rollback links in the page move log (Special:Log/move).
Oh, alright. That's a bit confusing. Perhaps the meaningless "rollback" links next to page moves in Special:Contributions can be either 1) removed, or 2) turned into page-move "revert" links.
