Alpine Linux:Patroller
The Patroller extension adds an enhanced recent changes patrol interface to MediaWiki. The interface filters incoming edits, prevents users from patrolling their own edits, and shares the workload between patrollers.
The extension adds a new special page; "Special:Patroller", accessible to members of the Administrators and/or Patrollers group(s).
Usage
Patrolling
When accessing Special:Patrol, a recent change will be selected based on certain criteria, and a diff. view generated.
You will be presented with three options:
- Endorse - accept the edit and mark it as patrolled
- Revert - reject the edit and undo the changes it makes
- Skip - ignore the edit
After selecting the operation to perform, another change will be produced for review.
Reverting
When reverting, a custom reason can be entered in the text field, or a pre-defined reason can be used. If no custom reason is provided, then the currently selected pre-defined reason is used as the edit summary for the corresponding reversion.
Notes
Workload sharing
The extension shares the patrol load by temporarily storing a key to the recent change in a memory-based table, alongside a timestamp recording the time of assignment. While a change has a corresponding row in this table, it is not presented for review.
Rows in the table are removed once they have expired.
Selection criteria
When selecting a change for review, the extension ensures that it meets the following criteria:
- Edit corresponds to the most recent change to a page
- Edit was not made by the user doing the patrolling
- Edit is not assigned to another user
- Edit was not made by a bot, and has not already been patrolled
Currently unpatrolled edits
Below is a list of outstanding edits that have yet to be patrolled. Due to workload sharing and selection criteria, you may not have access to patrol these yourself on the Special:Patroller page.
