C.Syde's Wiki:Recent changes patrol

{|width="100%" style="border:2.8px solid #bca1a3; border-radius: 1em" Users with the administrator, assistant, or content moderator permissions can use the recent changes patrol feature on certain wikis, which allows them to mark edits as patrolled in order to reduce the workload of other patrollers and reduce the likelihood of unwanted edits slipping through. Users who are not administrators, assistants, or content moderators can still check and revert edits they see on Special:RecentChanges, but will not be able to actually mark such edits as patrolled.

Criteria for patrolling
Patrolling is not a way of adding scrutiny to an edit you merely dislike or disagree with. Its main purpose is to filter out edits that have major problems requiring immediate attention. Edits should not contain:


 * 1) blatantly obvious vandalism and/or spam;
 * 2) blatantly unacceptable copyright violations;
 * 3) libel, legal threats, personal attacks, or unsourced information about a living person;
 * 4) content that is clearly and verifiably incorrect; and
 * 5) content that exhibits inappropriate behavioural standards, like sock-puppetry.

Edits that are found to contain any of these five things should either be fixed or reverted before being marked as patrolled. If the edit is of low quality, either fix the issue or add a tag and then patrol it.

Edits that are reverted using the rollback tool on certain wikis are automatically marked as patrolled. In addition, edits made by administrators, assistants, content moderators, and bots on certain wikis are automatically marked as patrolled.
