David Levy:

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. But the verb form describes a specific situation in computing (restoring a database to a previously defined state).

In the relevant context (reverting to an earlier revision of a wiki page, with subsequent edits retained in the database and history), "rollback" means "act or instance of rolling back".

Is the addition of a colon ("rollback: 2 edits") technically feasible?
