To be clear for those not familiar with Portuguese Wikipedia...

Here "reverters" (Reversores) is a user right equivalent to Rollbacker on
English Wikipedia.[1]

Extending the ability to block IPs and newly-registered accounts to a user
group outside the small admin corps on Portuguese Wikipedia might induce
some radical changes in the community dynamics. (There are only like 30-40
admins, and more than 100 rollbackers.) This topic sounds pretty
interesting, not to mention important to inform community decision-making.
