Sandgar keep pointing out that Rollbacks are pointless is rather his opinion rather than a fact. If Rollbacks now were completly pointless, then Wikia/Fandom would never have it as an option at all. Let me bring up a good example on how Rollbacks could be pretty helpful. Some days aga a Nutty Sockpuppet account was vandalizing on the HTF Wiki and no Administrator was on call. Creeper had to be informed on Discord to be able to take care of this situation. Now, we will probably soon get new Administrators to be on call more often, but that doesn't change the fact that those new Administrstors might not either be on call the next time a vandal attack and no other Administrator either for that matter. However, if a Rollback now is on call, then he will have much easier to revert the vandal's mess till an actual Administrator actually shows up and take care of the situation. You and Sandgar see it as pointless to have Rollbacks. I see it as pointless to not give users which actually revert vandalism a better tool to be doing so. However, it's still up to the community and also those users themselves. Maybe we will not get any Rollbacks at all in the end because of the lack of interest from those users and the community doesn't supports it either. It's too soon to tell actually. This election is not about us getting new Rollbacks no matter what, but rather giving some users each a proposal and then let the community decide. If the vandalism now was low, then I could have understood you and Dandgar better, but if you have not noticed, the vandalism is higher than it has been on a very long time and that's when the Rollbacks are needed.
