==List==
Can someone put a list of the patrollers? {{User:Jaffffey/sig}}
[http://www.mariowiki.com/Special:Listusers?username=&limit=250&group=patroller] There's the list. {{User:Grapes/sig}}
==Patrolling==
The article states "A Patroller is a user who is given blocking, rollbacking, and '''patrolling''' rights." Could someone explain what "patrolling" is in this case? An aswer would be greatly appreciated. {{User|Shiancoe}}
:The ability to use [[Special:Patrol]]. <span style="font-family:verdana; color:#red;"><font size="5">'''[[User talk:Yoshario|Y]]'''oshario'''</font></span>[[File:Yoshi Mario Hat SM64DS.png|30px]]
::Ah, I see. However, the link you provided is limited to Patrollers and Sysops. What does Special:Patrol do exactly? {{User|Shiancoe}}
:::I dunno. Once I was a sysop on another wiki, but I didn't have the patrol extension. But I think its similar to [[Special:Newpages]] or [[Special:Recentchanges]], where you get to patrol the things that have happened. Correct me if I'm wrong though, because, I am rather curious too. <span style="font-family:verdana; color:#red;"><font size="5">'''[[User talk:Yoshario|Y]]'''oshario'''</font></span>[[File:Yoshi Mario Hat SM64DS.png|30px]]
Sorry for bothering ya, but the Patrol page works to "hide" a history of certain page, for example, vandal's edits. Somehow similar to undo a submission. {{User:Coincollector/sig}}
:No, you weren't bothering at all. In fact, thanks for your answer. =) I've added what rollbacking and patrolling are in the Patrollers page, just for reference. --{{User|Shiancoe}}
OK, No problem-o :P {{User:Coincollector/sig}}
Actually, I think what Coincollector described is Oversight.  Patrolling allows sysops and patrollers to go through recent edits and mark new edits as patrolled, meaning that they have checked the edit ensuring its fine and thus others don't need to check it.  I rarely if ever use this function, but that's what patrolling actually is (I think). --{{User|Son of Suns}}
:You're probably right. I thought at first he was talking about oversight(because that's what it does on Wikipedia), but I wasn't sure. So, do only admins and bureaucrats have oversight rights? -- {{User|Shiancoe}}

*May I try being a patroller? I know what they do and what must be done. [[User:Chris Helper|Chris Helper]] 04:34, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
*I won't go around the site randomly blocking people. - {{User:Chris Helper/sig}}
== Hi ==
HI I was wondering if I could become a patroller I do not do bad thing and I wont block people for no reason could you please just give me a chance It would make me happy:) {{user|meeper}}
:Unfortunately, meeper, you cannot ask to be a Patroller -- someone would have to notice your editing history and nominate you if they think you're suitable for the job. --M. C. - "Mario Gals" Fan! [[User:MeritC|User Page]] | [[User_talk:MeritC|Talk Page]] 15:37, 27 April 2012 (EDT)
