Patrollers
Current Heroes Wiki patrollers:
Administrators are also patrollers:
Responsibilities
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.
Guidelines
- Administrators' edits are automatically patrolled. Patrollers' edits are not automatically patrolled and a patroller cannot patrol his own edits.
- If an edit was incorrect and not subsequently corrected, then patrollers should not mark the edit as patrolled; once the patroller 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 a patroller has doubts whether an edit is correct or not, he is encouraged to skip marking it as patrolled. This way the edit in question is more likely to be examined by another patroller or administrator who may be more certain whether the edit is correct or not.
Tips
- In the list of recent changes, red exclamation marks represent edits which have not yet been patrolled. Clicking on the "Hide patrolled edits" link will show only unpatrolled edits. To patrol an edit, click the "diff" or "last" link if the edit was for an existing article. On the diff page, click the link for [Mark as patrolled]. If the edit was creating a new page, there will not be a "diff" link; instead, click on the name of the article and the [Mark as patrolled] link will be on the bottom right.
- For Firefox users, Alt+Shift+P is a quick shortcut for patrolling on "diff" pages.
- For users with tabbed browsers, opening "diff" pages in multiple tabs is another quick way to patrol numerous pages. A patroller can easily navigate from tab to tab and patrol along the way (Ctrl+Tab, Alt+Shift+P, Ctrl+Tab, Alt+Shift+P, etc.).
