Why this icon appears big?
This topicon appears big than the reviewer or sysop topicon to me. Why? Did anybody notice this problem, or it's just mine? I saw the widths are both 24px. &mdash; Tanvir 07:49, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I see a new version of the File:Wikipedia Rollback.svg was uploaded according to the new logo. Maybe that has taken effect. I think we need to resize it now. &mdash; Tanvir 07:53, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * No, it is actually for historic reasons. It just started out as a different sized icon, and when making all of these top icons, i tried to keep the original look of the icons as much as possible. —Th e DJ (talk • contribs) 10:39, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Move to "Rollback topicon"
Should the template be moved to a new name to bring it in line with the topicon naming schema? -- Avi (talk) 17:40, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

Edit request regarding addition of Category:Wikipedia rollbackers
The header says it all. Maybe it doesn't. Why shouldn't using this template automatically add the page it is used on to the Category:Wikipedia rollbackers (unless specified by a different parameter, such as no_cat=yes or something)?  smt cha hal  talk 04:24, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

We could replace the template's code with the following one (it worked for Reviewer topicon):

Also, I think the same needs to be done on the Autopatrolled topicon template (with the Category:Wikipedia autopatrollers this time, of course) as well. Since I thought it'd be pointless to place a separate request on a separate talk page, I'm doing it right here. Here's the code for that one:

 smt cha hal  talk 07:12, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * ✅. I used cat handler which is a cleaner option, and also will only category user pages. Hope this is okay. &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:58, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
 * That's great, in fact, because I've noticed that most templates use cat handler for handling categories and I think it is better that all templates use similar codes to avoid confusion (which is why I have harmonised the code of reviewer topicon with that of this one). And of course, categories should rather be on user pages than on talk pages (though a few users prefer not to have a user page and hence have to add categories to their talk pages instead; but anyway, those cases are very rare). Thanks!  smt cha hal   talk 16:15, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Appropriate on user talk pages
Per the documentation, I have this topicon on my user page. However, I've seen some user talk pages with it as well. Is that an appropriate use? – voidxor (talk &#124; contrib) 04:45, 14 March 2015 (UTC)


 * There would be nothing wrong with that. Even having it on both, would be okay. Mind you, I personally am in favor of following procedure, for various reasons, but no, there is nothing "wrong" with it. Debresser (talk) 17:32, 14 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I see. Shall we mention user talk pages as a permissible application on the usage documentation? – voidxor (talk &#124; contrib) 19:56, 16 March 2015 (UTC)


 * That is not a good idea. We don't want people to do this. The optimal use is on the user page, so that's all the documentation should say. Debresser (talk) 20:19, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Template-protected edit request on 27 March 2015
Hello! Template:Top icon recently became more restrictive so both width and height must be passed with non-default values for any actual changes in the displayed image size. Thus, this template should be slightly modified so it is possible to specify the height as well, while defaulting to passed custom width – please see  for an example. Thank you in advance! &mdash; Dsimic (talk | contribs) 23:20, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Partially done... I'm not letting height be set by width though; that was a concious decision to prevent "accidental" breakout issues.  08:43, 28 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you, and appreciate the correction! Now we just need to work out the sorting. :) &mdash; Dsimic (talk | contribs) 08:47, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

Please change the image in the parameter "imagename" from File:Wikipedia Rollback.svg to File:Wikipedia Rollbacker.svg, as the file page states that the latter has superseded the former. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 15:49, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the template. Not sure if there's consensus to do this. Since the images are different, I'm declining out of caution. If you can show a consensus somewhere, I'll make the change (I've already implemented it in the template sandbox, of course, it's incredibly easy to do technically).

 * I am not quite sure why the image was superseded, but what I do know is that it was done in Early 2012 when a user replaced the image File:Wikipedia Rollback.svg with File:Wikipedia Rollbacker.svg on the WP:ROLLBACK policy page. No discussion seemed to have taken place, and no users objected to the WP:BOLD replacement. The latter image is the one that is currently used on the policy page of WP:ROLLBACK, so it makes sense that the same image would be used in the topicon. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 15:54, 22 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Interestingly enough, I have also found that the same user did the same thing with the userbox Template:User wikipedia/rollback: see diff. Again, with both changes they didn't give an edit summary, but the images have seemed to have stayed. P,TO 19104 (talk) (contribs) 15:59, 22 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Just compared the two as small topicon images and prefer the presently used one, that is, File:Wikipedia Rollback.svg. As we all know, these should be changed only by consensus. There is no policy or guideline that tells us that the topicon must be changed for any reason. I prefer the status quo.  P.I. Ellsworth   ed.  put'r there 18:18, 22 January 2021 (UTC)

This template currently uses the older version of the rollback logo (brighter arrow curving upwards). However, this version is superseded by the newer version and it is recommended to use that newer version.

So change the filename to.
