<languages/> Template:TNT <translate> Patrolled edits is a feature which allows specific users to mark [[<tvar|newpg>Special:NewPages</>|new pages]] and items in <tvar|recent>Special:RecentChanges</> as "patrolled", meaning "approved". By default this is only available if you have the [[<tvar|sysop>Special:MyLanguage/Help:Sysops and permissions</>|sysop permission]]; many wikis grant a <tvar|patrol>'patrol'</> permission to groups of users.

This feature is useful when reviewing recent changes for undesirable edits, link spam and vandalism. 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).

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

Marking edits as patrolled

To mark an edit as patrolled
  1. Access <tvar|recent>Special:RecentChanges</>
    Changes which are not patrolled display with a red exclamation mark (!).
  2. Click the (diff) link next to an edit.
  3. To mark the edit as patrolled, click the Mark as patrolled link.
To mark a new page as patrolled
  1. Access Special:NewPages</translate>

<translate>

  1. New pages which are not patrolled display with a yellow background.</translate>

<translate>

  1. To mark a new page as patrolled, visit it and click the <tvar|text>[Mark this page as patrolled]</> link near the bottom of the page.

Hiding patrolled edits from recent changes

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

http://sbnwiki.astro.umd.edu/wiki/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&hidepatrolled=1

<translate> Note: this works only for users with the patrol or patrolmarks right. This might change after <tvar|bug>Template:Task</> is solved in future.
