::And now that you are a sysop, you can use the "rollback" link instead of the "undo". This has two benefits. One is that it's one less click for you. The other is that it automatically "patrols" that bad edit, which means it doesn't show up on [[RecentChanges]] with a red exclamation point. This is important because it makes less work for others cleaning up vandalism or spam.

::Hi Felix :-) just a pitch for the cross pointing of personal pages in the main namespace and talk pages in the user namespace.
