If this occurs, simply revert your edit manually, with an edit summary like "Self-revert accidental use of rollback"

Templates

With the exception of {{later}}, all of the templates below with bold wording attached allow a customised message as the second parameter. For some reason, {{warnsign}} and {{partly done}} capitalise the first letter of your message. The others don't. You can't set specify text, though; it will become an apostrophe (except for {{idea}}, which always adds a colon after whatever text you write).
