Heroes Wiki:Patrollers

Patrollers are users who have been granted the ability to patrol edits. Patrolling edits helps ensure that each edit is reviewed by at least one person for any obvious mistakes. Selection of patrollers is dependent upon an administrator's view of a person's skill in distinguishing between edits that are appropriate and those that are not (e.g. info is misplaced or doesn't follow the style guidelines, etc.) and how the person typically handles the latter type of edit.

Patrolling Tips

• In the list of recent changes you may see red exclamation marks which represent edits which have not yet been patrolled. Clicking on the "Hide patrolled edits" link will also show you all the unpatrolled edits. To patrol an edit, click the "diff" link if the edit was for an existing article. On the diff page you will see a link for [Mark as patrolled]. If the edit was creating a new page there will not be a "diff" link. Instead, you click on the name of the article and the [Mark as patrolled] link will be on the bottom right.
• Administrators' edits are automatically patrolled. Your edits are not automatically patrolled and you cannot patrol your own edits.
• If an edit was incorrect and not subsequently corrected then patrollers should not mark the edit as patrolled; once you or another editor fixes the erroneous edit(s) then it can be patrolled. This way incorrect edits will get the attention of multiple patrollers or administrators so it's more likely to be fixed.
• If you have doubts whether an edit is correct or not, you're encouraged to skip marking it as patrolled. This way it is more likely to be examined by another patroller or administrator who may be more certain whether the edit is correct or not.
