That one sounds easier. If only people wouldn't use rollback inappropriately...
Mmm. You'd want a second study to get an estimation of how much rollback is:
a) inappropriate - edit-warring;
b) irrelevant ("rollback self" is not unknown...);
c) legitimate but mundane, such as mass-reverting edits to clean up
after a discussion;
and finally d) actually reverting vandalism.
(The same applies to (undo), but the proportion of d) would of course
be vastly lower)
