Rollback scripts...
I have a few questions. I just got rollback recently, and I want to know:

Does Twinkle offer rollback? What other scripts do as well? I know of a few.

Why are people allowed to do rollbacks without permission like this? It seems like scripts can do a lot of other things that are very bad in the hands of inexperienced editors.   Awesomeness  talk  02:04, 2 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Many use Huggle for vandalism patrol, and there are other tools as well. Yes, scripts can be very powerful and dangerous in the wrong hands, which is why there's a vetting process for rollback, and a wait-period for things like Twinkle. Shadowjams (talk) 22:42, 27 April 2010 (UTC)

Images
The police-style badge and policeman icon on the user template, with hand in the defensive-stop position, are both off-putting, and convey the wrong impression. Patrollers are not Wiki-police, the images should, I contend, be replaced with something more representative of the task undertaken; and less aggressive. Discussion at WP:VPP refers.

 * Recent change patrol and WP:NPP, which is what that conversation is about (actually, it's even narrower) are not at all the same. If you want to design a new icon though, I'd say go for it. I don't even use the userbox myself because I think it's a little silly. But seriously, it's hardly "offputting". Shadowjams (talk) 03:30, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
