<translate> '''Patrolled edits''' is a feature which allows certain users to mark [[<tvar name=newpg>Special:NewPages</tvar>|new pages]] and items in <tvar name=recent>[[Special:RecentChanges]]</tvar> as "patrolled", meaning that at least a basic review was performed.</translate> <translate> A good edit might be marked as "patrolled", but a bad edit might also be marked as "patrolled", if it was reverted or its most obvious regressions were fixed.</translate> <translate> By default this is only available if you have the [[<tvar name=sysop>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Sysops and permissions</tvar>|sysop permission]]; many wikis grant a <tvar name=patrol><code>'patrol'</code></tvar> permission to groups of users.</translate>

<translate> This feature is useful when reviewing recent changes for undesirable edits, link spam and vandalism.</translate>
<translate> This allows people (with permission to do so) to coordinate their patrolling activity, such that edits get checked over once, with less wasted effort (different people checking the same edit).</translate>

<translate>

This feature also allows setting trustworthy users' edits to be automatically patrolled, so that the people who review recent changes need not spend time doing unnecessary reviewing.

== Marking edits as patrolled == 
</translate>
; <translate> To mark an edit as patrolled:</translate>

# <translate> Access <tvar name=recent>[[Special:RecentChanges]]</tvar></translate>
#: <translate> Changes which are not patrolled display with a red exclamation mark (<tvar name=1><abbr title="{{int|Recentchanges-label-unpatrolled}}" class="unpatrolled">!</abbr></tvar>).</translate>
# <translate> Click the ([[<tvar name=2>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Diff</tvar>|diff]]) link next to an edit.</translate>
# <translate> To mark the edit as patrolled, click the <tvar name=mark><code>{{int|Markaspatrolleddiff}}</code></tvar> link.</translate>

<translate>

; To mark a new page as patrolled:
</translate>

# <translate> Access <tvar name=1>[[Special:NewPages]]</tvar></translate>
#: <translate> New pages which are not patrolled display with a <span class="not-patrolled">yellow background</span>.</translate>
# <translate> To mark a new page as patrolled, visit it and click the <tvar name=text>{{button|{{int|markaspatrolledtext}}}}</tvar> button near the bottom of the page.</translate>

<translate>

; To mark a new file as patrolled:
</translate>

# <translate> Access <tvar name=1>[[Special:NewFiles]]</tvar></translate>
# <translate> If you want to see only unpatrolled files, check "<tvar name=hide>{{int|newimages-hidepatrolled}}</tvar>"</translate>
# <translate> To mark a new file or new file version as patrolled, visit it and click the <tvar name=text>{{button|{{int|markaspatrolledtext-file}}}}</tvar> button near the bottom of the file description.</translate>

<translate>
=== Caveats === 
</translate>
* <translate> There is currently [[<tvar name=1>phab:T22399</tvar>|no method to undo the marking of an action as patrolled]].</translate>

<translate>
== Hiding patrolled edits from recent changes == 


Patrolled edits can be hidden from recent changes by adding <tvar name=1><code>&hidepatrolled=1</code></tvar> to the URL in the following form:
</translate>

{{canonicalurl:{{#special:RecentChanges}}|hidepatrolled=1}}

<translate> Note: this works only for users with the <tvar name=1><code>patrol</code></tvar> or <tvar name=2><code>patrolmarks</code></tvar> right.</translate>
<translate> This might change after <tvar name=bug>{{task|T44246}}</tvar> is solved in future.</translate>

<translate>
== Customization == 

=== Enabling/disabling === 
</translate>
{{MW 1.4|and later}}
<translate> Patrolled edits are enabled by default.</translate>
<translate> To disable this, set <tvar name=1><code>{{ll|Manual:$wgUseRCPatrol|$wgUseRCPatrol}}</code></tvar> in <tvar name=2>{{ll|Manual:Configuration settings|LocalSettings.php}}</tvar> to <tvar name=3><code>false</code></tvar>.</translate>

<syntaxhighlight lang=php>
$wgUseRCPatrol = false;
</syntaxhighlight>

<translate>
=== Permissions === 
</translate>
<translate> Patrolled edits are enabled for sysops by default.</translate>
<translate> Use the <tvar name=GroupPermissions><code>{{ll|Manual:$wgGroupPermissions|$wgGroupPermissions}}</code></tvar> configuration variable to assign this to new or existing user groups.</translate>
<translate> See <tvar name=1>{{ll|Manual:User rights management}}</tvar>.</translate>

<translate>

For instance, to create a ''patrollers'' group:
</translate>

<code>$wgGroupPermissions['patrollers']['patrol'] = true;</code>

<translate>
=== Automatic patrolling === 


Edits by users with the "autopatrol" right, assigned only to sysops by default, are automatically marked patrolled.

=== Marker === 


The formatting of the unpatrolled edit marker can be altered using CSS. The exclamation mark displayed on the Recent changes log is styled using the <tvar name=1><code>span.unpatrolled</code></tvar> class.

== Log == 


Patrolling actions are listed in the ''Patrol log'' ([<tvar name=url>{{canonicalurl:Special:Log|type=patrol}}</tvar> example]).
