email sent. I suppose that's a "no" on my shot in the dark in my OP.

I'd rather just have the deleterevision userright. It's not like admins or crats could do more damage than they already can if they had access to it. It would just add a tool that would allow for greater flexibility to their relatively small toolset, in comparison to admin/crat toolsets/userrights on other mediawiki sites that is. Plus instead of waiting for a response to Special:Contact one could do it and a) not waste Wikia staffmembers time and b) could handle the revdel in a timely manner instead of waiting on presumably busy staff getting around to it.

By that rationale though no one needs the rollback userright since one can just restore a page to a previous revision prior to vandalism.
